ParticipantLove South Park, North Park, Univ Heights,Mission Hills, Bankers Hill! I think this is the best place to live in SD. Especially if you are less of a typical Socal type, and more of a Boston/SF/Seattle/Portland/Lower Manhattan/Europe vibe.
Like another poster said, it doesn’t feel like cookie cutter, sterile, artificial, plastic, strip center SoCal (i.e Carmel Valley and pretty much anything East of 5 North County)…but you still get the great SoCal weather!

Participant[quote=sdcellar]Sorry, but I don’t think it’s gotten *that* much nicer in the last 10 years. Cheap money is the significant driver.[/quote]
No.
There has been a national shift in housing preference.
But that preference does not translate into demand.
The cheap money you reference does.
But the reason people spend $400,000 (which seems like a lot of money to me) on a 2br/1ba place in South Park when they could buy a 4br/2ba house in Santee is preference.Lots of people who come here really have a jones for urban living.
See, that why I’m *urban* realtor with the condos and the walking….and the stuff…

svelteParticipant[quote=jpinpb] The house is small. Okay. I don’t need a big house. It would be nice if it were at least 1000 sf. But there’s only 1 bath and I really did want 2 baths.
[/quote]Talked to my wife and she reminded me of a few things about the house we lived in near there that I had forgotten.
Being between 700-800sf, it was tiny (2br/1ba)…we couldn’t unpack all our furniture nor get all our clothes in the closet. In fact, the LR had doors on 3 walls and a fireplace on the 4th, all we managed to get was a couch and a TV in there! We think JP is right in wanting more square feet.
The hardwood floors got filthy requiring them to be gone over with a dust broom daily (more wind in that area, maybe?).
And our cat decided to get on the roof of the detached garage and stay there for long periods of time, refusing to come down. We think she hated the dogs in the neighborhood. For whatever reason, she did not relax until we moved again.
