When searching for a home, many buyers will limit their search to a specific zip code. You may have a specific area in mind and use the zip that covers most of that neighborhood. While this may be effective most of the time, sometimes this cannot benefit you. Here is an example. If you are looking for a home in Rancho San Diego you may be searching the 92019 zip code. But have you included the 91978 Spring Valley zip? This zip code covers the area by Steele Canyon high school and “Old Rancho”, up on the hill. Another zip code to search would be 91941. I know this is a La Mesa zip code but the area by Dixieline, the 24 hour gym and Vons, up on the hill is in the 91941 Zip code. If you are considering buying a condo in Rancho San Diego you should include these zip codes as well.
Avocado Village condo complex in La Mesa, is located just east of the Dixieline and Von’s shopping center at the end of the 94 and Via Mercado. This is a good complex to consider if you want to buy a home in Rancho San Diego. The complex consists of 1 and 2 bedroom units with 678-1068 square feet. Some units have mountain views and either attached or detached garages. The complex was built in 1985 and some units have been updated. When last checked the owner occupancy rate was 61%, which means it is eligible for FHA financing. (Please check current rate when you are ready to buy.) The current HOA fees are approximately $200-$230 per month. This fee covers common area maintenance, building exterior, sewer and trash. There is a pool and a spa.
The complex is stable. In the last 18 months 12 units have sold. There are currently 2 in escrow and there is only one active listing. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and is 1068 square feet. It is listed for $170,000. Call me if you would like more information about this condo or if you would like me to help you purchase a new home.
