Del Cerro View Homes

[DaCounselor]

“Also, looking for recommendations for other San Diego neighborhoods that offer city, bay, ocean or mountain views (safe neighborhood and easy commute to city) with house prices under $850K.”
________________________

I echo FSD’s recommendation to take a look at Bay Park and Bay Ho, ie: West Clairemont. There are some great streets up there with some pretty tremendous views. You are alot closer to the coast so the ocean/bay views can be spectacular, you get cool ocean breezes, etc. About 10 minutes to downtown. I think you could do pretty well in $850K range and even better next year if you can wait as prices continue to pull back.

Another option is to take a look at the Mt streets in Clairemont – I have been in a few on canyons with excellent canyon views, just not quite the same panorama as you will find on the western hills.

Can’t speak to the quality of schools.

I noticed that 5915 Madra, a “corporate owned” property in Del Cerro Heights fell out of escrow and came back with a reduced price $731K. Has anyone see this? The pictures look rough but with that view and sq. footage, the price seems low (even for this day and age). Is there something really awful about it?

I seen this house and it is even rougher condition than the pictures depict! The pool no longer has blue water – it is green and thick looking! The home seemed to have good bones, however, it needs a lot of sweat and money to bring it up to date (new kitchen, baths, windows, flooring and roof). The home really shows it’s neglect. The view is really nice. Corporate owned by Citibank.

For $70K more you can buy this home across the street:

I’m still looking in Del Cerro — just haven’t found the right house.

The pink house an Madra looks nice. One shortcoming for me regarding Madra is that it is double yellow road. That is kind of a pet peave of mine and also probably affecting the relative value of this house.
About the geology of the area…looking at the front of the pink Madra house you see large a granite rock front with a short stuccoed wall on top.This granite is very stable. If that is the situation at Yokhama it is not likely a problem. Notice that the driveway of the same house has no cracks and the retaining wall looks perfect, at least to a casual view. That is what you look for for starters. For several years I have noticed a collapsing hill clearly visible from the 8 going east. Can’t remember if it was closer to Waring or College.
I like the Bay Park suggestions too. Another area that is really nice is located of north of Montezuma just east of Fairmont Ave. The zip is 92115. Look for streets off of Santa Yerba. Maybe the views are not so great.The prices get pretty steep in a section that is a gated. East going towards SDSU the houses tend become quite a bit more modest.

I will post a link to one house. I realize that it higher than your stated price range.It is likely that these prices will come down. Just showing you the neighborhood in case you don’t know of it already.
