We used to rent a very nice two bedroom next door before this place existed. Hardwood floors, huge windows overlooking a beautiful courtyard, it was very charming. And before this ugly building went up, we had an ocean view too. All this for only $1500 a month, it was paradise. Unfortunately, when they started building we couldn’t tolerate our Eden any longer and packed our bags for a quieter area.
No doubt they rent our old place out for much more nowadays, even without the ocean view, but STILL, who in their right mind would buy into 1/10th ownership for that price, when right next door you could rent a very nice place for a fraction!?
And yes, there are a lot of bums in this area, we had run-in’s with them on a weekly basis. Lots of loud parties too, but that kinda goes with the territory.
