Yes, Flu, I had considered recommending to investor RPV and Laguna Beach. But he is from an area of 1-4 acre wooded lots with a wide rugged river rushing through replete with a natural waterfall with large boulders and river rock AND less than 15 miles to DC! It almost resembles a (colder foilage) example of the island of Kauai, sans the moss and palms.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the waterfront homes in RPV inside of a convenant and/or HOA? If there are actually beaches there, aren’t they small and private, like Laguna Beach? I have not been inside RPV but have only seen it from binoculars from the green bridge (this dates me – LOL) outside Long Beach. Since investor was looking for a non-commercial place to semi-retire, I did not know if he would be interested in living inside of a covenant/HOA.
TexasLine made some good points about Coronado. Yes, some of the streets are wide but I maintain that investor and his wife would feel too claustrophobic living there.
investor, I’m sure you’re aware Coronado is NOT 70 degrees 365 days a year. It has its share of cold breezes and rain and 50 degree weather, just like the rest of the CA coast. I’ve also rode bikes there in 90 degree weather. I don’t think there’s anyplace in the continental US with 70-degree weather 365 days a year 🙂
