Doesn’t even back a canyon. WTH.

CRazy as it may seem there is some justification for it. Another 2BR/1BA at 4959 34th St closed for $554K in May. It was almost 200 sf bigger but was east of 805. There are very few sales in this little pocket between Texas and 805. Still seems crazy but not as crazy as I first thought.

Although the house at 2524 Collier which is 3000 sq ft with 5BR/2.5BA on a 10K canyon view lot for 795K certainly seems to make this look a bit outlandish in comparison.

[quote=jpinpb]Ricechex – I was thinking about what you said about Upas being a busy street. While that may be true, I think it pales in comparison to the heavily commercial University Avenue w/4 lanes, not counting turn lanes at traffic signaled intersections. Plus for Upas, the proximity to Balboa Park somewhat almost makes up for it.[/quote]

JP…you are absolutely correct, Upas is not as busy as University. However, there are several streets that people use rather than the biggies (Univ, El Cajon Blvd, 30th) instead. Thus, they serve as alternate routes to destination. Example: I take Howard Ave to Texas, rather than University to Texas. Thus, those “side” streets are actually very busy streets.

If I was offered a free house on University or Upas, I would choose Upas. However, considering I would be paying a hefty mortgage, I would choose neither! You will be cleaning your windows often and breathing in fumes. Besides the obvious streets, some streets I would avoid:

92104
Swift
Boundary
North Park Way
Nile Street
Upas
Howard/becomes Orange east of 805
Thorn (depends)
Texas
Wightman
33rd between Thorn and North Park Way (entrance to freeway)
Landis between Boundary and 31st (the way to CVS)
Grim between Upas and University (the way to Post Office)
Florida (but I think that may be 92103)

92116
Meade
Monroe
Madison
Adams

JP, I am not a realtor, just lived in these parts for quite some time. Please feel free to PM me if you have questions.

Also: I suspect that there are fewer sales in certain pockets, because there are many elderly in the homes. I had a friend who worked for Adult Protective Services (APS) and the biggest number of aging people she served was in North Park. You can usually tell by the condition of the homes, ie: they cannot afford upkeep.

Ricechex – Thank you so much. I appreciate your insight, since you lived in the area. I know that 92104 and 92116 have good streets and bad streets and the only way to know is go there and hang out, check the streets. It varies so much, somtimes from block to block. And thank you for offering to PM you. I may be taking you up on that.
