[quote=Former SD resident]Thanks CA Renter. We are attactrated to the SFV because like everyone else it seems like the schools are better and you get more for your money. We would love to live closer to DTLA, but we require good schools and at least a 3BD/2BA and stongly prefer a SFH. Our budget is $675K so if it’s possible to get in a good neighborhood for that than we’re more than willing to live there. We do plan to rent initially but with 2 small kids, and the low interest rates we’d like to buy sooner rather than later.
I’ve heard good things about Eagle Rock, is that a nice area? Any others we should consider closer to DTLA? Thanks again![/quote]
F SD,
Here’s one option to consider. It’s within your budget, and as far as commutes to DTLA, it’s about a close as you can get for the price in the SFV.
The schools might be an issue. I think the elementary school is okay, but the middle and high schools might leave something to be desired. Of course, you might be able to choice into another school. Again, my personal knowledge regarding LAUSD is dated, so be sure to check for yourself.
