Point Loma reducing a little

We have kids and would consider MH or PL – have looked there in the past. But this discussion is neglecting home size. $625k gets you 2300 sq ft in Scripps:

Whereas $625k in Mission Hills gets you 1500 sq ft:

Then, families see a 9 API for Scripps High and award-winning elementary schools, and it’s not much of a comparison.

That is my point PB. The post is not to knock MH or PL, nor did I ever say nobody buys there. Plenty of people buy there, but for a YOUNG family just starting out or with young kids it is a no brainer. Alot more convenient to walk the kids to school a few blocks rather then drive them to a private school.

I don’t mean to be politically incorrect but lets take the young Asian couple who both are engineers with a child and together they pull down 200k. You guys tell me where you think they would rather raise the family.

I’m going to revert back to what I said before and say it really depends on the “type” of people and I know exactly a couple that fits the description but they actually make more than that and they live in MH and would never live in CV or some cookie cutter neighborhood.

Also know many people who live in PL and feel there are very good school in PL, value education very highly and have no problem sending their kids to school there.

Sure there are lots of people who meet your criteria, but there is no shortage of folks who don’t, so I still don’t believe that supports an argument that MH or PL won’t hold up as well.

So its like saying because there is a huge demographic that want A, and there is also a B option, but that B cannot hold up because A doesn’t support it. I think you’re trying to put a square peg into a round hole

I’m sure there are plenty of people who think MH is worth it’s current premium. That’s why it has been holding better than most other areas in SD so far. Past performance is no guarantee for future return though. We’ll see if MH will continue to hold it’s premium over the next few years.

I happen to fit SD R’s stated demographic. For me, MH wouldn’t fit. Which is why I didn’t even consider MH, especially with the premium the properties there are fetching over the last couple of years. Where I bought, I’ll be w/in 11 blocks from work, 2 blocks from an elementary school & local park, 4 blocks from the middle school, and 8 blocks from the high school. 4-5 blocks from a Vons, an Asian supermarket, a few big box stores like Target and Kohls, various chain and non-chain restaurants spanning from Irish pub to taco shop to Vietnamese food. Although where I live might be in the burbs, I think I can walk to many more places I want/need to go to than if I live in a more urban places likes MH.
