92111 = Linda Vista zip code. Has Clairemont and Linda Vista ‘hoods.
Real-estate people always say 92111 is definitely less desireable than 92117, even for comparable homes. Stupid, I agree, but that’s the deal. So, Mt. Streets south of Balboa are “Clairemont” if you are selling and “Linda Vista” if you are buying.[/quote]
Buyer or seller, I have never heard anyone refer to any of the Mtn. Streets, or anything to the north of where Tecolote Canyon crosses Genesee just south of Mesa College, as “Linda Vista”. It just isn’t correct. It’s not a blurry line; that canyon is a very clear geographical boundary between the two neighborhoods.
On the other hand, I did have ONE pizza delivery place (on Clairemont Mesa Blvd) refuse to deliver to me because I lived in 92111 south of Balboa. They said “92117 only”. Of course I never gave them a dime of my business.
