Downtown San Diego Condos: Now We Want a House!

If you live in Downtown San Diego, you probably chose the location for the urban lifestyle.  What happens when your lifestyle goals change?  Do you raise a child in an urban environment or do you move and find a more laid back lifestyle?  Normally I would say do you want to move to a family neighborhood.  However, the politically correct word police tell me that you can't just say family-style neighborhood because what if someone doesn't have a family, doesn't want a family, but just wants the lifestyle.  If anyone can figure out what to call that style lifestyle, I will become politically correct.  However, until that happens, I will use family-style neighborhood to describe a place where there are a lot of single-family homes, schools within walking distance, no high rise buildings, and not too much traffic congestion or baseball games, other than Little League.

Here is a perfect example and this is one of our newest homes for sale.  This particular property is located in Lemon Grove, which is about 10 miles, give or take, east of Downtown San Diego, at 2810 Olive Avenue.  Lemon Grove is famous for its lemon, which is another story in itself. 

This is a 3Br/2Ba home located on a large 6900 sq. ft. lot.  There is a fantastic unobstructed easterly view that really gives this home a feeling of spaciousness.

The seller has priced this home at $299,000 and since it is around 1500 square feet and totally rebuilt, per the seller, in 2006, we feel this a fantastic affordably priced home.  If you are searching on our website or any other website, the MLS# is 100037097.  Since the price range for this home is attractive to conventional, FHA and VA buyers, we are hoping for a quick sale.  This is a short sale but the lender is the Bank of America and the B of A has instituted a quick short sale process that expedites these type sales.

If you are interested in an affordable newer home or know someone who might be, just have them call Victoria for further details.  Victoria's number is 619-977-3174.

This is what makes Lemon Grove such a neat small city.

 How many cities can say they have a big lemon in the center of town?  To my knowledge, only the Lemon Grove lemon can say that, assumng a lemon could talk.
