[quote=UCGal]Not all the lots there along soderblom are a full 10k sf lots… several are in the 8k sf range. (Still big). And a lot of the houses are more like 2k sf.
You might consider an east UC neighborhood as well. Look at the homes on Dirac, Pavlov, Bromfield… especially the ones that back to the canyon. Large lots, many with views.
And there are other small pockets – newer homes (compared to your mentioned neighborhood and the one I mentioned which are early 60’s era) –
Lahitte Ct, Hurd/Millikan/Willard.
The homes along the canyon – Wellesley, Mercer Lane, Condon…
Clairemont also has pockets. Some of the homes on Avati and it’s side streets are on larger lots with peek-a-boo views of the bay.
You need to look at individual houses/lots. UC in general has a 5k nominal lot size. So often you’ll get 5k sf lots on one side of the street (non canyon side) and 17k lots on the other side. Same is true in Clairemont.
In general – the older the neighborhood the wider the lots… My hood has an issue keeping postal carriers – every time we get a new postal carrier they apply for a new route because they realize the homes are spread apart and are old-school with the mailboxes at the front door. Too much walking.[/quote]
You’re right, not all Soderblom are full 10k+ lots, but the one development that I’m referring to (the last 3-5 blocks on the west end of Soderblom are. Along with a few streets north-west of that area.
With regards to other area of UC, those seems to be 60-70 ft wide lots. Although it does have tree-easement, those lots tend to only have 6k-7k of usable lot. I’d like to have 1/4 acre usable lot, like the Soderblom development.
My initial impression of UC and Clairemont is, they’re similar to MM, but with slightly larger lots (6k-7k average vs 5k average). Until I saw the Soderblom development. Those houses seems to average around 12k lot. Which is why I’m trying to see if there are more sub-area around SD that are similar to this development. I guess I should be more clear in that I’m looking for sub-area (developments) that have average lot of 1/4 acre and not just individual houses. If it’s individual houses, there are a few in 92126 & 92121 that I’m currently looking at that have ~20k sq-ft lot (most of that 20k lot is also usable) w/ an amazing view of the Lopez Canyon and hot air balloon and sunsets. They go for around $600-800k. I would rather that those if it comes down to individual houses.
