Clairemont most desirable areas

[Scarlett]

I’ve been today driving on the “Mt” Streets, both north and south of Balboa. I managed to hit 2 open houses in 92111. I liked best the neighborhood, and the house of 1st one

and 2nd one – smaller, but a nice big yard. The neighborhood till we got close there was not quite as nice as the 1st one, but still decent; but as we got close to the canyon, it started to improve. This 2nd one is more in our price range and size.

Pretty close to Holmes elemetary too.

So I liked in general the Mt. streets south of Balboa. Then we visited the Mt. streets north of Balboa…at least where we went – Lindsay Ave., Mt. Henry, Huckee, that I remember, the neighborhood was much more spotty to me. I just didn’t like it as much as I did the one near those open houses above. the houses and yards themselves were not as nice looking. Too many cars in the streets (if they are residents, why not park in the garage? or at least the driveway), too many boats and RVs. Perhaps there were some events going on; we will go see the neighborhood again at some other time – this was just a first impression. Some yards and houses seemed neglected though.

I would not exclude CLMT (92117, 92111), but I really have to go see any house I’d be interested, the neighborhoods change enough in the space of a couple blocks. It sort of reminded me of older PQ. Anyway, I saw only a very small portion of CLMT, and in a holiday weekend no less. Need to see more.

Have a nice Memorial Day!

I lived on Canning till age 4. (about 2 blocks from the first link, the Mt. Ariane houe.)

The only caveat I’d have about that location is the power lines that run behind the houses across the street.

Not sure how you feel about power lines. I’m nervous given the fact that 3 family members (who all lived on Canning for 2 years longer than me) died of cancer. Only my sister and I are still alive/cancer free. It’s not scientific – strictly anectdotal…

I was disconcerted by the presence of so many old style power poles and power lines. that gives a very dated air to the community. Those are not the ultra-high voltage ones (I think they are not, but I don’t know for sure), but still… Yes, esthetics aside, I am concerned about close proximity to those and I wouldn’t buy a house near them. You never know. We are going to look up and around us when we look at houses.

UCGal, I am very sorry to hear that about your family. Could have been a combination of genetics and external factors.

I don’t disagree- cancer runs on both sides of the family. I had myself tested for the BRCA gene (negative thank goodness.) It’s slightly worse than 3 out of 5 people dying of cancer. Both my brother and father had 2 separate, unrelated malignancies. My dad beat prostate cancer only to get multiple myeloma 10 years later. My brother beat melanoma, only to get a very aggressive (and obscure) neuroendocrine carcinoma 20 years later. But you’re right – genetics is probably more likely. Small family and 2 cousins (out of 3) have had cancer. 3 of 4 grandparents died of cancer. Lots of indications it’s genetic.

That said – the power lines I pointed to are more than neighborhood lines – they are the main trunks. You can see them on this google map…
