I agree sdr and this is precisely why I ended up buying in north Mission Hills rather than south. That view of the airport and freeway is a major turn off for me as well even though they I do enjoy the city views at night.
Having said that, I can see how that combination of features would appeal to a certain class of buyer.[/quote]
To be frank, pemeliza, I don’t consider this area above India St and also along Reynard Way as “Mission Hills.” I don’t even consider the area surrounding the Vons on the south side of Washington “Mission Hills.” I would refer to 2940 Columbia as being in “Middleton” and other low-end properties referred to on this thread situated south of Washington as “Hillcrest.”
I myself would prefer the REAL built ins and pocket doors made of redwood or cedar. While this property is a very good replica of Mission-style and appears to be a quality-built home, it is NOT the real thing.
This area doesn’t have near the walkability (some steep hills), ambiance and privacy of Mission Hills and never will. The bay view below Middleton is marred by warehouses, old military bldgs and a partial runway in the foreground. However, it is undeniably a good bay view and beyond, especially from about two streets higher than this property (Union St).
