Parc@54 in San Diego

[SD Realtor]

I have a home not terribly far from there in an area called Talmadge that is a rental property. This part of town is known as the college area. I would not advise you to purchase in this area if you are looking for a quality area to send your kids to public school.

If you are not to familiar with San Diego I could not urge you in strong enough terms to rent for awhile after you move down here rather then buying. The county is quite diverse and locking into a home purchase without having a firm grasp of the different selections is taking a substantial risk. Given the price range you are looking at, as well as being recently divorced I would actually recommend a condo. I know HOAs suck but do you really need the overhead associated with taking care of a yard and such? The price differential is substantial and you would potentially be able to live in an area with better public schools.

SD Realtor, thank you for responding. I figured something had to be wrong with the condos for them to be priced so good. Yes, more and more I’m leaning toward a condo. I had wanted a 1900+ sf house, but I am very comfortable in the 1100 sft condo I’m now renting. Very low maintenance. Also, my oldest son will have one more year of high school then off to college, so it will just be me and my 13-year-old, so I don’t need the room of a large house. Another thing, the kids never even went in the backyard the last few years we’ve had one.

Is clairmont a good area to live in? I have a friend who rents a house there for $1600 a month, not anything I’d live in (kinda run down) but the street is very peaceful.

Also, since I’d like to save as much money on a purchase as I can, is now a good time to buy a condo or house in San Diego? Or do I wait a couple more years? Waiting would not be a problem for me as I’m very comfortable where I am right now and the schools are excellent.

There are good areas of Clairmont and there are definitely bad areas of Clairmont. I have several friends who live up there and they’ve noticed quite an increase in crime over the last 10 years. Most of the nicer areas of Clairmont have historically been the “Mt’s”: streets such as Mt. Alifan.

For that much money, you could probably rent a house in Grantville/Allied Gardens (the neighborhood that I live in). It is much more consistent than Clairmont.
