MY "APPRECIATION" OF PACIFICA

Over the last 3 years I have had the opportunity to view a side of Pacifica that I never knew about - The beauty, convenience, and the people.

Pacifica to me is so close to San Francisco, that it reminds me of the commute that I was making from Pacific Beach in San Diego to downtown San Diego when I was living down there. It is a straight shot to a place that I love so much, San Francisco.

From my home in gorgeous Pedro Point, which is the southern most part of Pacifica, I can get to the BART Station in 10 minutes, downtown in under 20, and over the Golden Gate in also 20. This is without some traffic though.

Since I love to surf, too, Linda Mar Beach, I am coming to find out is a very consistent break (but it sometimes does get a little crowded).

As for real estate, Pacifica is still VERY UNDER MARKET compared to the rest of the coastal homes in the BAY AREA. A ranch home, $650K, 1000 square feet, blocks from the beach??? 2 Bed and 2 bath Condo's with ocean views for under $550K???

With a focus on education, commerce directed to the thousands of beach go'ers, and the tunnel going in at Devil's Slide...my prediction for Pacifica - Appreciation (literally).
