If I told my realtor I was looking for a family-oriented, family-friendly area and they took me to OB, I would fire them immediately.
I wouldn’t unless I was a ‘fraidy cat who didn’t want his kids to have any contact with things that aren’t pure, boring, and suBURPan. zOMG! Kasey and Lloyd might encounter a HOMELESS HIPPIE … smoking a JOINT! How HORRIBLE!
Then again, I’m a dirty hippie at heart and would be more comfy raising a family in parts of Brooklyn, NY, North Park, SD, or Venice Beach, Philly than in a non-walkable suburban pesthole like Carmel Valley.
Do agree on any of the beach areas you mentioned 🙂
