Pardee Homes in San Ysidro (Esmeralda)

[92027_guy]

Hello,
So my wife are keeping our options open for when/if/where we want to buy next. We checked out the new construction for Pardee in Carmel Valley but of course it is way out of our price range of 350 – 450, so I noticed the also have a community down in San Ysidro. The places are nice and in our range, but I’m curious as to any background info. The sales rep said only 3 of the actual model homes are not in escrow, but I saw a short sale on Red Fin for I believe plan 3 for 390k (FTA: “bank wants this sold”) which wasn’t a ringing endorsement for future prices. I realize it’s FAR away (traffic) and very close to the boarder (security), but like I said we’re keeping our options open. Beyond the obvious gut reactions to living so far south any thoughts? It appeared a school was built next to the community but I don’t need to worry about that beyond taxes/fees as we aren’t having children.
We would rent there first before we bought as this time around I’m not jumping in with both feet.

Dude,

Are you seriously thinking about living in San Ysidro or is this some kind of joke? It is one of the few places on earth that could make El Cajon look like paradise.

xironman,

I wouldn’t say we are “seriously” considering it, but it’s not a joke either. My wife really liked the one model and it was quite a surprise to find nice new house 2500+ sq ft that was actually in our price range in San Diego. I’m betting the commute will probably kill the deal as I look into it, but I suggest going down there and taking a look at that community and surrounding areas on the east 905. They are off and secluded from the border town stuff by a mile or so.

I grew up in working class areas and am comfortable in them, hell I’m always wondering why people call MM a ghetto. I mean there aren’t Mercedes and BMWs in every driveway but I don’t feel it’s that bad.

I think that you can find the same type of housing in Eastlake, Rolling Hills for about the same price. If you are looking for new/newer homes for under 400K you might want to check Escondido also.
