Wow. Resurrecting this thread. I have come across so many NODs in La Boheme. I haven't bothered to post them. Enough to tell me this complex is in a world of hurt.
Also, I was in the area not too long ago. It had been a good 6 months before then. Well, I noticed the Rancho's market is closed. Rancho's restaurant is still there, but the market next to it is closed. I was surprised. There's always been a market there since as long as I can remember, but at least since 1991. I think that was the first Jimbo's location. Anyway, another business closing - and a market, no less. I would think a restaurant would close before a market. Ranchos has some good food and priced reasonable. |

Looks like the market-rate units are now firmly below the "affordable" income restricted units.
And it also looks like the complex has lost its FHA approval. I wonder what the problems are in this complex.
now: $235,317.
MLS-080061697-3957_30th_317_San_Diego_Ca_92104
----------
Description:
What a steal; last sold for $358,000! This listing is not an auction. Standard c. A. R. Forms will be used. Special "first time" home buyer financing available. Complex may not be fha approved. Buyer must verify all information prior to removing contract contingencies.

So no need to worry about me folks. I'm doing fine with my $370,000 condo in North Park and have the confidence to know that in due time it will be worth at least in the mid to high $400,000's if not more.
Here's for you newbie. I think that by now, even the low-income subsidized units are well under water, especially considering that they are upside restricted.
#527 now listed at $299,000 to $349,000
3950_Ohio_527_San_Diego_CA_92104
#412 at $236/sf.

San Diego is a lot like Mexico in a way... no real middle class: either you're living nice in north county, or you're a broke ass person somewhere else;
what? |

| "I <3 North park" Where do you fall in your assessment? Are you the wealthy living in North County?? I dont think you can compare NP and North County. They are completely different and obviously it will attract different types of people. Its like comparing your standard neighborhood with living in Downtown. |

| Culturally North County is a pesticide-laden wasteland. North Park is unique to San Diego neighborhoods with its mix of arts, culture, diverse population, restaurants, bars, pedestrian activity. It may not be the prettiest place -- but truly interesting places rarely are picture-perfect pretty. |

| North Park does suck. No matter what you NP'ers say, NP is still just a place for semi-employed wanna-be's (losers in the real world). This post acts like NP is Melrose or Bevrly Blvd in LA or something... it's not, and it's not even close. San Diego is a lot like Mexico in a way... no real middle class: either you're living nice in north county, or you're a broke ass person somewhere else; NP being one of the somewhere else-es. Read these posts... you're arguing about the merits of 1000-1500sf APARTMENTS!! I know leaglly they're condos, but real condos should nicer than comparable homes in the neighborhood (without the yard). |

what's doing: Kate Ross Shoes/Kalos Designs
The North Park shopping scene just keeps getting better, with the addition of Kate Ross Shoes and Kalos Designs now open.
Located at 3827 30th Street, between Bar Pink Elephant and Urban Solace restaurant and across the street from the trendy new La Boheme condos, the new space is sleek and modern, mixing furniture (sectional couches, lounge chairs, tables), art, housewares, gift items, and and a hip selection of shoes (including Ben Sherman), all for sale.
The space itself features 2-story high ceilings with exposed beams, and stained cement floors. They're still putting the finishing touches on the store, with plans to install tile on the exterior. Kate Ross and local North Park resident Amy Paul have done a wonderful job creating an elegant space to shop, and are a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

| 2800 block of Adams Avenue isn't even North Park. Duh. It's 92116 area code. It's University Heights, or possibly Normal Heights, kinda in between them both. But any way you cut it, it ain't North Park. How pathetic that some are so bent on badmouthing North Park that they grasp for a crime from another neighborhood and claim it took place in North Park. Of course crimes do take place in North Park, but then again they take place in lots of neighborhoods, from the Gaslamp to Bankers Hill to PB and La Jolla. But do some research before saying a crime was committed somewhere you don't even have a clue about. |

| One cannot have it both ways. If corporate establishments were to move into Nortpark, then its Bohemian charms will be lost. Geez, I thought NP was great because it is quirky. If one were to live close to Barnes and Noble and other corporate establishments, then there are plenty of other cleaner and more "sterile" places for such. |

"People always think that their s**t smells good and that their kids are special "gifts" from God. If your neighborhood sucks and your kids are dumb, it's better to come to terms with it sooner rather than later."
Sounds like the words of someone who's upset that their s**t smells, their neighborhood sucks and their kids are dumb. Sorry your life is such a mess dude. Hopefully part of coming to terms with all that will be finding a way to make it better. |

"Just wait a bit longer before it will get booted out for some other big chain and corporate establishments."
Let's see, if that does happen -- if places like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Baskin Robbins, Borders, Barnes & Noble, Jamba Juice, etc. begin following the many Starbucks into North Park -- well, typically that eventually means a rise in property values. |

| North Park also has a couple good New Age bookstores and a large religious bookstore. And rumor on the street is that either Border's or Barnes & Noble is cosnidering opening a satellite (i.e. smaller than normal) location somewhere on University between 30th & the 805. |

Oh yes, that store right next to Wamu....Just wait a bit longer before it will get booted out for some other big chain and corporate establishments. I suspect that Anon 9:17 is our good Newbie. Since there are Financial Times and International Tribune there, would you be so kind and report back to us what they say about the US politics, economy. The Washington Post is great but it is better to have some other perspectives every now and then.
Anon 8:59 AM I agree with you. |

"I suspect that that Financial Times and the International Tribune is something that you do not get in Norhtpark; and that is just how cool NorthPark is."
What a hillariously ignorant statement. Terd-for-brains obviously doesn't know that North Park is home to a magazine store that carries one of the most extensive collections of newspapers and magazines from all around the world of any place in San Diego County -- right on 30th Street, right below ... La Boheme. Haha what a fool. |
