Del Cerro is a big area. You need to first understand what area you are considering. Old Del Cerro has always been the more affluent neighborhood compared to the neighborhood of Allied Gardens. Homes located off of Del Cerro Blvd are old, but much nicer and larger. Many have views. I think I know the house you are talking about. it’s located off of Linefield Ave. It’s a nice place, but hardly worth what they are asking.
Since I lived in Del Cerro, I’ll note the plus and negatives:
Plus:
– Great Elementary School (the top in the CIty of SD)
– Great neighborhood watch group. Everyone knows what is going on and who is who.
– close to the store. You can walk to windmill farms (same as Henrys’)
– close to I-8, and I-15. Takes me about 15-min to get to and from work downtown every day.
– Nice views
– A lot of young people starting move in (newly wed or nearly dead as they say)
– No HOA or Melaroos.
– Close to everything.
– Gas on the way to the freeway
– Super friendly neighbors.
Negatives:
– a little on the expensive side right now (but this is everywhere in SD right now)
– houses are very old and cold.
– most houses need upgrades (insulation, paint, yards, etc..)
– Too many rock front yards
