Parc@54 in San Diego?

[luvsan]

I’m looking to buy a house or condo in San Diego. I love the beaches down there and the weather. I don’t really know the city well and have only been to the clairmont area recently. I’m a divorced professional with two children entering their teens, so I can make do with a 2 or 3 bedroom condo, or a small, cozy house. I’m aware the shape the economy is and that real estate is only going to go down. Having said that, I’m currently renting a 2 bed condo in the Riverside area and paying a little under $1300 a month.

So, is Parc@54 a good deal? The asking prices are $199k and 239K for the condo’s that I would go for. Will they negotiate that? Is it a good time to buy this now? Also, I like new construction.

What about the area? THe saleslady tells me it’s in the college area? Is that area safe? I’m a professional and don’t want to live anywhere shady or trashy with a high crime rate. But, I do like an area close to nice shops, restaurants and of course, the beach.

Also, could I get a small house in San Diego for the price I’d be paying at Parc 54? But, I don’t want a fixer upper.

Here are the general directions to the complex:

Directions to the Community:
From I-8 exit Mission Gorge Rd/Fairmount Ave. Go south towards Fairmount Ave So. Take ramp to Montezuma. Turn right on Collwood and cross El Cajon Blvd. Collwood turns into 54th Street. Make a U-turn at University Ave.

All answers appeciated!

ALso, if there are any other new condos in San Diego for that price, let me know.

Find a rental in the area and see if it fits your needs. You have kids, you need to checkout schools, sports/after school opertunities, your commute, etc etc. You dont have to buy immediatly, for any reason. Find where you want to be, then buy. There is no excuse to buy right now, cause the market is going nowhere but down from here (best case is things hold steady for the next year).

The area around SDSU has a VERY high crime rate. The area you are talking about borders on what I would call “the hood”. Personally, I wouldn’t even rent anything in that part of town, let alone buy anything…but that’s just me.
