Truly, I feel like there is an unspoken fear among many around here: that one will buy into a community that LOOKS nice but may attract people who for a variety of reasons – cultural, educational background, inexperience, etc – don’t believe in/understand house maintenance or upkeep. Or that the percentage of rentals will increase on a given street, giving it that “transient” feel.
I suppose there are simply no guarantees, eh….
The home I have rented for over 2 years is in Rancho Bella Vista. The people next door are trash. No two ways about that. They keep trash outside of their trash cans on the side of their house fairly regularly (no wonder about the mice in my garage). I suppose I should have called the HOA on them when it first started. Oh, well. This street is mostly rentals. It definitely has that “transient” feel to it. I will be looking for ways to avoid that when I buy.
There is a mentally ill lady that walks down murrieta hot springs rd. regularly on her way to the supermarket. She smells (I’ve encountered her in the store once). It’s sad. I feel sorry for her. Driving down Wincherster Rd. on the corner of Margarita Rd. I see the occasional bag person every now and then-although that’s pretty close to Harveston. So, there are definitely parts that are better than others. To be honest, I’ll be looking for the better parts when I buy. I don’t want any more neighbors like I have now, but I do understand there are no guarantees.
