The new style of single family house: what’s your thought?

[bearishgurl]

[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]AN, you can also find the single-story house size and lot size you want or both that are even beyond your expectations in Chula Vista. Too bad it’s so far from employment for you. [/quote]
Since you know Chula Vista, which are fit this description: tree-lined streets, 2k sq-ft single story on 12k+ sq-ft with a view? Preferably houses built post 1980 but I can deal w/ old homes as well. I did a quick search on Redfin and I can’t find any.[/quote]

In reference to 91910 west of the 805 fwy, there is no view on these tree-lined streets, AN, except for Mankato St backyards bet 1st & 2nd Aves and a few older properties north of “C” St (Nat’l City border). They are fairly flat and close to the bay. No homes are newer than 1962 (exc 1 HOA walled subdivision) and most are older, some much older. Average lot size is 7-8K but there are many lots between 10K and 20K and many lots bigger than that but probably above your price range.

Remember AN that when you are looking at properties online or in the MLS, they state the year the tax assessor has on record that the house was originally built. This does not mean, however, that the home is not currently a “complete remodel.” In other words, just because the assessor records state that it was built in 1947 does not mean it wasn’t knocked down to the studs and rebuilt (usually larger) within the last 20 years or even the last five years. This is the case with a large percentage of older homes, all over the county.

As to 91910 east of fwy 805, the Rancho Del Rey Pkwy circle (off Ave Del Rey or Ridgeback Rd) has a tree-lined walking path with a split rail fence. This is paid for by street bonds charged to the homeowners. Don’t quote me but I believe there is only one year left to pay on the street bonds in these subdivisions. The school on the circle is Discovery Elem (a bilingual immersion school) feeding into BVMS/BVHS.

The years of construction for these RDR tracts are 1991 to 1992. The actual residential streets are NOT tree lined there, however. Some of the backyards on the west end (near the school) have views.

There are 3 streets in Terra Nova (1991) and one street in uninc Chula Vista (1952), just east of I-805, which are high enough to have views of dtn and Coronado. These areas do not have tree-lined streets.

The older developed areas of 91910 were built primarily in the flat land close to the bay. Up until WWII, the area was primarily orchards.

Edit: I did not include any “executive homes” as to the discussion on “views” due to price. These neighborhoods are not “tree-lined” but one in the uninc area has many trees behind the properties, similar to Scripps Ranch canyon rim properties. These (non-tract) properties in 91910 can be prohibitively expensive unless purchased as a heavy and/or structural fixer.

AN, don’t want to get too far off-topic here but I see you mentioned you preferred a one-story home. There are two models in Terra Nova that I think are about 1500 and 1900 sf. However, there could be the rare rear room addition. I just checked and you may have seen this REO of 2217 sf 4/2/3 in Chula Vista Hills (Andalucia subd) with a 9K lot w/RV pkg avail. No trees, no view and existing MR. Schools are CV Hills and BVMS/BVHS. Walk/bike to all, incl SW College.

There are many properties which fit your requirements west of the 805 but the trick is to find an available one and be in the position to move on it. These properties may or may not have tree-lined streets and will not have views.

There are a great many large single-story properties in adjacent 91902, not tree-lined, most without sidewalks and some with northerly or southerly views. The ones you could find at a good price will need work, incl updating inside and out from 60’s and 70’s era “decor” (incl accoustical ceiling) and very possibly a new roof. Avg lot size is 15K sf there.

One story tract homes built after 1987 are relatively rare in SD County.

With all due respect you have no clue the depth of what goes on in Philly. I dont know Bosotn well but NYC does not come close in what attytoods exist in Philly. It happens at every level. If you want an education, read a little about the former Police Chief and Mayor Frank Rizzo. He used to carry around a billy club for cracking heads and keeping the blacks in line. There is a famous picture of him in a Tux at a formal event and the club can be seen peaking out from inside his jacket. The prejudices are not simply being hung onto, they are being passed on from generation to generation. When I go back to visit friends many of whom are very very successful/high profile people in that city I see it. I couldnt stand anymore and that is probably the biggest reason I left.
