Enorah, avoid that location at all costs, one of the worst barrios in the north county. I am very familar with the area, take the advice above and go with Shadowridge for just a few dollars more, five miles and a world away. That hillside house is in what is considered the “townsite” area of Vista, whenever you hear of a gang shooting or something else that makes the news related to Vista, it is usually within a mile of that house.
On the plus side, if you work in the media you can help the environment and walk to crime scenes daily, without increasing your carbon footprint. Vista is very “hit and miss” on the North side of Highway 78, but a good rule of thumb is the further away from the townsite area, the better. A year ago someone asked about a property a mile or two away and I advised against it because of it’s proximity to….you guessed, the very neighborhood this house is in.
Now if you were a spanish speaking gang member who burglarizes homes for a living and is concerned about the high gas prices as they relate to commuting to places where you can buy drugs or weapons, I would say that this house is the perfect location, everything you would ever want is within walking distance.
