Interesting when I moved here in 1996, I remember talking to the qualcomm HR new hire orientation rep who was saying that her house in solana beach is finally recovering after some defense layoffs in San Diego caused a recession in the economy.
It seemed like housing was still ok. La Jolla I think was $300k for a townhome….
I think the largest condo in then new construction Waterridge right next to building Q (San Diego Design Center) was $199k.
