[quote=lifeizfunhuh]Ignore the point loma bashers. Until very recently, I lived in an enclave of PL called Sunset Cliffs, which my wife and I consider to be the best neighborhood in the city. If you look on a map of PL, it is west of Catalina and south of Point Loma AVE (not blvd). It is a serene and quiet hillside community overlooking the P. ocean. If you work downtown like I do, you can be at your office in 10-15 minutes. SC is also very safe provided you stay within its bounds.
I agree that other parts of PL are less desirable, but if you are up on the hill you will have a nice view either of downtown (east side of hill), or in the cliffs (west side of hill) you have the ocean.
750-850k buys you less than in other parts of SD (2br, 2000sf was a good buy several months ago), but if location is important to you, there isn’t a better place in the whole city.[/quote]
Unequivocally agree here, lifeizfun. I fell in love with PL when I got “lost” on Hill St in the mid-’70’s, trying to find my way from my downtown apartment to the “over-the-line” tournament, lol. I later found my way to the “map shop” in North Park where I bought my first (thin, by today’s stds) Thomas Street Guide. I still have this map book somewhere in my attic and realize it might be “shocking” to review it now 😉
