[quote=CDMA ENG] . . . Of course how someone wants to spend 750K on a house and still consider this area to be desirable is subjective and in the “eye of the beholder” but you are not “virtually out of it” noise wise.

CE, I am surmising from your post that it lists the reasons for why you are currently renting in UC. Do I have this correct??
My PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with being a pedestrian on the ground for a good many years is that the jet landing noise is significantly decreased north of Laurel street and is a fraction of the noise over the 2100 block as one approaches the Quince St footbridge.
You may refer to whichever “studies” you wish. It does not change the fact that many people love this area and that these (often large) pier and post homes framed and finished inside with CA redwood/cedar and red mahogany so prevalent in 92103 do not exist in UC.
You appear to be currently residing in the right area for you, IMHO ;=]
