A few things…. and this is probably out of personal preference but I still think it is good advice. Don’t buy on a busier street. Don’t buy a home that backs to a noisy street or freeway. Never underestimate orientation along with peace and quiet and furthermore safety if you have kids. It just is not worth it. You said it yourself, you can always fix up a home. You can never make a noisy area quieter. You can never make your neighbors home better either. PUSD is great but is it nirvana? Certainly not. Yes for 500k you could find some nicer alternatives. They may be a bit farther away or a different school district but… maybe it is a consideration. Kind of makes your head spin if you think about it to much though so my advice is to enjoy the beach this weekend. You have been shooting up housing to much lately.
