Participant[quote=captcha]. . . You just need to be willing to purchase Spring clothes in Fall and vice-versa.[/quote]
UCGal, I did this every year when my kids were in Elem. School. Be flexible. You have to buy a size or two up. Holiday velvet outfits in Jan. were $6-$12 (retail $75-90). Easter dresses in July for $8 (retail $40-50). Shorts in Sept. at $5 ea. Jeans in Feb. for $8 ea. Boots in Jan for $8-12. You get the picture. Always shopped at Macy’s, Robinson-May and Penneys and always bought top brand names, nothing less.
Don’t be afraid to purchase underwear and socks on the broken packages table. They’re .50 ea. Sometimes designer clothing (ex. Guess?) was stepped on or slightly ripped. If you pointed that out at the register, you could get another 10-15% off. Go home and wash it and take 5 mins. sewing it 🙂
Of course, it helped that I was in South Bay, where all the county stores dump their unsold inventory for fast clearance. I always got there right when the stores opened on a Sat. morn. and waited in line to get in 🙂

Participant[quote=AN]bearishgurl, I also looked over your description of 92121. FYI, I know this area very well. I used to live in 92121. Lot size for these houses are mostly around 5000-7000 sq-ft w/ a few canyon view lot that have a bigger backyard, but none of them get much bigger than 1/4 acre. They are all built in the mid to late 90s. 92121 goes to 92126 schools. Which I hope you know that when you mention it has decent schools. There’s a couple condo complex near UCSD, but those are old and is on the very edge of 92121. The main townhouse complex in 92121 is called Wateridge and it’s surrounded by tech companies (mainly QCOM). . . [/quote]
AN, see the (re)posts below:
[quote=UCGal] 92122 includes south UC – which is 90% SFR on larger lots. 92122 is schizophrenic – north UC (north of Rose Canyon is mostly high density condos, south UC (north of 52, but south of Rose Canyon) only has 2 apartment/condo developments – the rest is SFRs.[/quote]
[quote=bearishgurl]Thanks for the clarification, UCGal. I did not consult a map. I was unaware that 92122 encompassed any of UC. I would have thought Rose Cyn. to be 92110/92117.
I know 92122 encompasses a lot of older, roomier complexes w/3 story condos as well. I’ve been in some of them and they are very nice, with oversized garages and full amenities.[/quote]
AN, I mixed up 92121 and 92122 in my thread-starter. I represented 92121 as UC when it is actually in 92122. The “roomier complexes” I am referring to are behind LJ Village Square. There may only be two or three complexes but they are large, with large units, built around ’79 to ’80. I do NOT know what zip code they are in (92122?). I remember LJ Colony as being in 92121, which is extremely dense. 92122 (UC) feeds in to Standley Middle and UC High. These are decent schools.Participant[quote=AN]bearishgurl, I also looked over your description of 92121. FYI, I know this area very well. I used to live in 92121.

Top quality and very well-built for the price. A rehab, board and care, small boarding school or spa are all perfect uses for the property but will never fly with the neighbors.

ParticipantI have a vivid recall of this lady’s situation. She had the place fixed up in accordance with Feng Shui principles and it was very “Zen” inside.
The NIMBYism of the neighbors thwarting her at every turn drove her to the brink.
