Any news on that short sale in Gardenwalk for 550k?
We actually doesn’t like the kiddie aspect of 4S ranch combined with the small lots. From a noise perspective, being surrounded by loud children on 2 sides and having no yard, means very little peace on the weekends. Having children wander up your driveway to watch you work on your bikes, etc. is also pretty darn annoying. It’s no different than living in a townhome at times.
I told my wife that I’d rather get a smaller older home with a mesa view over in Clairemont Mesa (and closer to the water), but she wanted something newer. I lost that fight, but now she’s starting to recognize that living in faceless, characterless tract housing isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be and that more square footage just means more time dedicated to cleaning and more money spent to decorate. [PS I’m a big fan of Not So Big House by Susanka]
As for the fire issue, I think I also won that battle. Living in a high risk fire area no matter how strict the fire prevention policy still isn’t as safe as living elsewhere.
I’m earning more points in the battle for our next home though :).
