[quote=zzz][quote=CONCHO]Whoah, that house on Upas closed at $819K! I had been watching that one, it was listed in the low 7s. It’s a cool place, the location next to the park is neat. Probably would’ve been $1M+ back in 2007.[/quote]
Concho, I think 819k was a steal[/quote]
I think you’re probably right. I was surprised to see it listed in the 7s but maybe that was just to build interest. I was kind of worried having bought my place not far from there in ’09 but this one went quite a bit higher PPSF-wise. To be expected with the location.
I showed it to my wife and she liked the house but not the location, she felt it was a little spooky and might be unsafe. That street is dark at night as is the alley in the back. Plus you’re right there next to the Upas trailhead, someone could be in your house and on the other side of the park 5 minutes later. There is quite a bit of “wildlife” to be found in the park, and I’m not talking about the four-legged variety. It’s good to be near the park but sometimes you might be too near to it…
