6610 Amberly St. 92120 in Del Cerro/San Carlos

[Troubled Loner]

Utexas112,

I lived in that area for several years, just a block from Amberly. It’s a great neighborhood, I loved living there! It’s not squarely in Del Cerro, nor in San Carlos, but that makes no difference to me.

Great to hear, Loner! It seems extremely quiet and peaceful there and is quite centrally located.

looking at this property on the map brought two thoughts to mind:

1. it gets hot there – if you are used to living near the beach this will be an adjustment – trading cooler weather for the ‘privilege’ of owning a starter home is not a trade I would make – I’d rather be a renter near the beach than a sweaty home debtor

2. it isn’t close to the freeways – on the map it looks like there is easy access for commuting but I would want to see what the roads were like during my own commuting times – spending 15 or 20 minutes just getting to the freeway is very frustrating for me – suggest you try your commute from that location and see what it is like

Hook ’em Horns! class of 1989 – visited the campus in 2007 – still felt like home

Always great to hear from another longhorn alum. If you’re a football fan, here’s to hoping the upcoming season delivers as promised.

You raise a good point about the heat. I currently live in northwest mission hills, so it certainly would be a change. I have read, however, that the hilly areas in that neighborhood stay a bit cooler. Last I went to the area, it was 72 at the coast and 74 there. Not exactly scientific, but possibly indicative. I’ve seen the same on a seasonal san Diego microclimate map and will try to find and post the link.

The house also does not have central air, though it may be possible to add it to the existing forced air heat system for around 5k… Money I wouldn’t mind spending for comfort on not just this but any house.

Distance from freeways doesn’t concern me–frankly, being in west mission hills, I’m ready to wake up to something other than freeway noise and jets taking off. Your point of checking surface streets during rush hours is a good one.
