Good point about the apartment complexes along Sierra Avenue. A lot of them are too close for comfort to the bluff and will require expensive seawalls in the future. One can only imagine the assesment for each unit in those complexes. The age and unexpected maintenance costs of the complexes brings about high periodic special asessments for electrical, roofing, balconies etc. All this and most of the units aren’t even occupied full time, so the two week a year and part time residents are subsidizing the full timers who probably don’t put much wear and tear on the complex at all since they’re the cranky and conscientous type.

The beach below these complexes is one of the best in North County in my opinion and the access is superb. Sierra does need to be cleaned up a little but in a way those trailer parks do remind me of when Solana Beach used to be a sleepy beach town. I hope it remains relatively low key in the future.

I found out that the condo sold for $928,000. It was an oceanview unit (not oceanfront). I still think the buyer overpaid.

The little sidebar to this front page article in today’s Arizona Republic confirms that prices on the bluff are holding steady or rising while downtown condo prices are in retreat. I don’t think Zonies though are interested in going downtown San Diego on vacation. Just my opinion.

Do you all think this area appreciated heavily in the last few years because of its location by the beach and the fact that there are very few condos right on the beach either in Del Mar, Solana Beach or Encinitas? Maybe the seller thinks that because there are no more apartments being built at the beach, that he/she can command a high price. I can understand how Mira Mesa or other inland communities had run ups in prices due to the common man frenzy and subprime loans etc, but it’s interesting in an upscale area like this what transpired.
