Neighborhoods Considering:
Riverside, in the UCR area
Moreno Valley, north of the 60 freeway
Redlands, south of the 10
Condo House: House, but will start in a condo if necessary
Price Range: $250,000-300,000. Even in the Inland Empire, that won’t get you much right now.
Size Range: anything over 1,000, but most important is a backyard bigger than my armspan. I want room for my kids in the future to play, and for me to have a garden.
Currently: renting an apartment.
Shopping the Market?: Not really, more like monitoring the market, using Ziprealty. I won’t start seriously shopping until prices are somwhere near sane.
