I work at UCSD and like to surf. Bay Ho is really close to 52 for both the beach and the University. Also, I would say that Bay Ho and Bay Park have some really nice areas. It really came down to available properties. We also would have taken a place in North Clairemont but west of Genesee.
We checked a few places out. There were two flips that were actually cheaper than the house we bought. Both were on the small side. Our house was a weird but sort of typical Clairemont story. A contractor had owned it in the 90s and substantially remodelled/rebuilt the place. It is big and our realtor called the layout ‘quirky’. For instance, the master bedroom is as big as my old 1 bedroom apartment in PB. For these reasons, we got a good deal and flippers were not interested.
