Why I am leaving San Diego

… Some streets in 92111 (Alcala Knolls, and around Mt. Everst) have some lower-priced 60s houses.
…
Clairemont is still out of reach and the cheap places are ticky-tacky.

protorio – Back before web-driven, zip-code-defined neighborhood definitions became popular, that area of the Mount streets (south of Balboa, west of Genesee) was called Clairemont (even though it’s in 92111).

I think it is still considered Clairemont by those that live there.

Yeah, no way could we have swung that. But that house was just too amazing not to lust after. The historic shots were the best. I can only imagine what San Diego must have been like pre war.

I’ve always thought of it as Clairemont, too. That’s what I’d call it.

Example:
2010 Clairemont
400K purchase
2,000 rent
Monthly mortgage = 1574
monthly taxes ~ 400
[/quote]

Doing different math. Back in 1996 one could buy in Clairemont as a starter home w/minimum down.

Today’s numbers. 400k w/3.5 % down (+closing costs) 4.5% x 30 years comes to 1,956 + prop tax 333 + PMI? not sure, about 350? + insurance? 75? comes to about $2,700 a month.

Don’t want to do FHA, which is a high percentage of purchases lately. Even w/%5 down, those numbers work out to 1,925 + 333 + 350 +75 is close to $2,700.

Considering 92117 is not exactly prime SD and lagging school distrcit, I really wonder how many people have almost 100k to put 20% down and closing costs to live in Clairemont.
