I don’t like the residual airport noise that prevalent in Ocean Beach. To me that is no deal right off the bat. I also think that family of 6 is going to want a larger home with a larger lot.
Agreed on the airport noise. As far as lot and house size, you’re talking about people from New England — lots and houses often are NOT large in many towns there, so it would at least be familiar.
Also, “old” for San Diego is brand spankin’ new in most New England towns. And why the horror of lifting a finger to bring a new bought house up to snuff?
