[quote=bearishgurl][quote=SDEaves]We found it very interesting that out of our four location choices presented in our original post, Mira Mesa was never recommended even once! Thank you all for your honesty.[/quote]
I didn’t recommend MM because I thought a (3 bdrm) SFR would be too expensive for you there. MM has recently been driven up in price by cash investors and flippers.
AN, are there any suitable SFR’s around ~$365K available for this family in MM?
Tierrasanta is also likely too expensive for you … for ANY size home.
I am fundamentally against a family of 5 with 3 very young children cramming themselves and all of their life activities into a condo … with its “all-encompassing” HOA board members undoubtedly “lurking.” That reason (and the extra cost) is why I suggested areas where you could buy a SFR with a bigger-than-standard lot with no HOA/MR.
SDEaves, have you had a chance to look around in LM yet??[/quote]
Thanks for your worry about the neighborhoods being too expensive for us. If this helps, we have toured many homes in our price range in all four locations (over the past year). We’ve looked at many different neighborhoods in San Diego before narrowing down the search to these favorites. Now it’s just deciding townhouse vs. SFR and your posts specifically have helped us IMMENSELY! Oh and yes, we checked out La Mesa. Certain areas we found to be right up our alley (north of the 8 and near Lake Murray) but the south-west area (near Rolando) was pretty scary.
