Well, the stucco “shack” that we’re renting in Burlingame near Switzer Canyon cost our landlord $650K in 2005. I am sitting on a heating pad with a blanket over my lap. No central heat, no insulation, one bathroom, about 1000 sq ft.
She got a deal at 650, no? I think our deal is better; we rent it for less than 2k a month. I’d say these houses are WAY overpriced!
We hear the ghetto birds every week and seems like every other day. SDPD uses the bullhorn to flush the crooks out of the canyon warning them they’re about to let the dogs loose…
There are things we like about the neighborhood and I’ve been a city kid all my life so I can put up with a lot more than most suburbanites BUT the prices of houses in North PARK are just absurd. Anyone who purchases a residence (now) here either has too much money and doesn’t know what to do with it or they’re just plain stupid. You can get a lot more living space for your rental dollar than you if you’re buying.
Two years ago houses on this street would sell in less than a week for asking price. Those days are way over. One of our neighbors has dropped her asking price from 650 to 499 and still no takers. We are seeing more and more of that here. it’s going to get interesting……
