Tiersanta as a whole would probably be considered the nicest community. It’s newer construction (i.e. 1980’s instead of 50’s and 60’s), probably has the best rated schools, lowest crime etc. It’s also probably the most expensive as a whole. La Mesa and Clairemont have pockets of nice areas and ares that are not as nice. Serra Mesa is probably most similar to Clairemont. Linda Vista which is south of Clairemont and West of Serra Mesa might be the best gamble for appreciation/value because it has a reputation of being ghetto You could see it revitalized over the next 5-10 years like North Park/Golden Hills and the central location is good.
