Point Loma reducing a little

[an]

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.

I asked my DH if he thinks CV, RP and 4S is more family oriented than PL or MH. He looked at me like I was asking a stupid question and said emphatically, “Of course!”

Most people think this and that’s why most people with kids would rather be in CV, RP and 4S. Heck, even if you didn’t have kids and wanted to invest, I would think resale would be easier if you’re in a better school district.

Sorry. Given a choice between the two, I would rather be in PL or MH, but people like me are the minority. If you really want my opinion, PL is riding on reputation. Since Liberty Station, the traffic is horrendous in and out of there, not to mention certain parts can hear those jets loud and clear. I just like some of those older homes.

Anyway, the point of this thread was my surprise in seeing some reductions in PL. Last year they were still holding steady.

Mission Hills (and Point Loma) will always command a premium. I’ve never been a believer in “we’re running out of land,” but one thing they’re not building anymore are 1920’s spanish-style homes or craftsman bungalows or mid-century moderns.

Not saying they won’t come down (or haven’t already), just that they’ll still be premium areas for some time to come. I would agree though that Liberty Station probably doesn’t help the cause.

And this coming from an engineer, no less.

Do you mean “we’re not making anymore land”, or do you really mean to say “we’re running out of land”? If it’s the later, I think most if not everybody on here would agree with you, if you’re talking about San Diego as a whole. But for areas that have already been built out like PL and MH, we’re not just running out of “build-able” land, we’re out of build-able land.

Questions to those who bought or are looking in PL/MH, are you looking there because of the 1920’sspanish-style homes or craftsman bungalows or mid-century moderns? Or are you looking there because of the location? Obviously it’s a combination of both but what’s higher on your priority?
