Housing won’t hit bottom ’til 2012

[an]

What do you consider walkable? My house is w/in 20 minutes walk from restaurants (not your fancy & expensive one though), gas station, 2 grocery store.

Solana beach & Encinitas have a few tract homes there too, so I guess I don’t understand what you’re trying to say w/ the name.

Don’t most neighborhood have sidewalk?

I guess I’ll never understand what’s the draw, and vice versa.

You could summarize that with one word: urban

The “organic” characteristic is very rare in CA.

[quote=jstoesz]a neighborhood to me has a few defining characteristics. None of these are deal breakers, but a majority is necessary to define what I am looking for.

1) walkable to something (resaurants, gas station, movie theater, grocery store, Yatch club (I kid)).

2. Has a name (la mesa, del mar, shelter island, solana, encinitas, roseville, you know what I mean, tract names don’t count, singing meadows need not apply)

3. has side walks (I guess this buttresses on number 1)

4. Organic (this may be synonymous with custom homes and custom commercial centers but I don’t think it has to be) It just has to come about organically as in no plans.

5. Character (yup I am leaving this undefined, but it probably has to do with #4)

6. History (I want vintage photos)

7. walkable (but I repeat myself)[/quote]

A simple generalization to this would be to look for areas that have no mello-roos. Those that have mello-roos, probably won;t meet these qualificaitons.

Love that area but I still like north MH a little better.[/quote]

Yeah, Hillcrest, just west of Morley Field. LUV that Insinkerator sprayer mounted over the kitchen sink, lol![/quote]

That’s actually Marston Hills, hence why folks consider it a premium location, just go look at the homes around it. Also there are no homes across the street and is right across the street from the park. The home is remarkably preserved and needs updating, but the original condition is amazing. for a home of its age, there is no apparent buckling/settling in the floors which is not unusual just due to natural settlement/age even with no soil /foundation issues. The tile in the bathroom is even in amazing original condition with no cracks. Most wouldn’t keep it, but it attests to the craftmanship and care in the home. The garage was built with redwood, etc. Its REALLY rare you see a home like this anymore in original condition.
