Thanks, yeah, I’ve followed the links on the lawsuits. I think a carport would work if there were two spots. An undergraduate student complex isn’t ideal because of the noise. My guaranteed renter is a studious science grad student.

I found some that looked interesting (e.g. Regents) but the reviews were terrible. Another one looked nice – La Jolla City Club and Capri (Renaissance) looks nice too. But that is too expensive.

I’m getting worried that prices are going to start stabilizing. I’ve noticed in some listings that are still for sale that price changes are going up. Wrong direction.

We also looked at Pell Place – I would run very fast away from these.

First, it’s a ghost town. The realtor said the lawsuits are likely coming, and the place is two concrete buildings with cheap boxes.

It really looks awful inside and out – all concrete and paved over outside, and the units are el cheapo. A huge disappointment considering how much people paid.

A few on the high floors in the end will have nice views, but most are looking at parking lot or into neighbor across the green.

The biggest concern is the HOA is around $400 and for that you get NOTHING. There’s a lame gym in one of the buildings and a few BBQ areas. Oh, and some palms in pots that need tending.

There’s nothing to maintain since the place is completely covered in concrete. It looks like a prison – or maybe an urban mid-rise rent controlled building with no amenities.

The big plus is they are across the street from the cool shopping center, but since you’d probably drive anyway, who cares?

BTW, if townhomes are going to hit low 400s, then what will happen to all the condos that are now in the mid to upper 400s?

I don’t get Andalucia. We went to see those with our realtor (we have been looking for a 2/2 condo in CV) and they, IMO, are a nightmare.

Cons: exceptionally tight garages – so tight no one uses them and parks in the open guest parking instead. Every space is full all the time, including the few on the street, it is very tight and crowded and it has the consequence that people wait like vultures for a spot to open up.

units are conversions from apartments. it shows. the “dual masters” are icky. very small bathrooms with poor quality.

floor plans are undesirable. three levels, tiny rooms, running up and down mini-stairs to do anything.

fantastically overpriced. but marketed as selling out quickly in 2007 after conversion.

Pros: great location. your own unit with neighbors only on sides, not up or down, cute elevations.

When we looked, our realtor thought that if you could get one <$400k, you could always rent it. I think we can do better.
