[quote=bearishgurl][quote=jstoesz] . . . Like I said though, La Mesa was at the top of the list. But even there a crappy house is at least 300 vs. 100 for a similar crap hole in MN. They do not compete. . . [/quote]
jstoesz, if you don’t mind my asking, what other areas in SD County did you consider purchasing in besides La Mesa before you guys decided to relocate instead? And what was/is your price range?? And by chance, were your desired terms FHA or VA?
Pls forgive if missed a thread somewhere where you already posted your list of desired areas.[/quote]
No problem. How about in order from best to worst. List of places we have thought about at one time or another.
Pipe dream (nice, safe, old, walkable)
– Point Loma
– Midtown
– Mission hills
– Mt Helix (not walkable but really cool homes and neighborhood)
out of reach (safe and kind of old and mostly walkable)
– University Heights
– Normal Heights
– Clairemont
– Bay Park
Crap but in my price range.
– La Mesa
– Allied Gardens
