“I would much rather buy at Escala than up in La Costa. I like their 3-story detached houses. I just like the urban setting a lot more. Mission Valley is centrally located and is a better location for a young couple. If you buy small furniture, won’t feel that much space.”
FYI, 3 story properties are among the most difficult to sell and most heavily discounted. I would never buy a 3 story property unless the 1st story allowed you to walk onto the sand of the beach. If you feel the urge buy yourself a Stairmaster and put it in your 1 or 2 story home.
