Best investment areas of San Diego: Linda Vista

[Alex U.]

Looking to buy some units in Linda Vista.  It appears to be very undervalued based on its proximity to Bay park, Mission Valley, Balboa Park, Mission Hills, and the beach.  LV used to be the epitome of a 'hood in the 80s.  But it appears that the bars are all off, people jog and walk outside. There are some shootings still near Kelley Park every year.  But it feels like the gang problems from the 80s-90s has subsided.

What sort of rental base is out there in this area, avg income, demographics, renter quality? Is this a C area transitioning to a B area?
