People want to be able to walk to the ice cream shop , the corner pizza shop and post office .

It's different in every area, but I would just shop for a good deal and buy before the rates go up further.

Apartment complexes going up; plans for restaurants and shopping.

Shopping rates seem to be around 5.3-5.6%, closing costs/points around 3-4k.

Are there any points of interest - breweries, cafes, shopping - that would be good to be located near?

@Rick Pozos Sounds like the old fashioned way!

I need to be on the deed in some fashion, because even though we are not getting a mortgage.

Ideally the unit is odor free after using the ozoner but, at a minimum, the odors have been reduced (what is left can be covered with more subtle cover up).Note: Ozoners are not available for purchase in CA (my market), but can be rented at some rental supply shops if you do not have one.

Like Mihir its a decent area......i have an acquaintance that owns a body shop just south of that area......thats the only time i would go down there...... im a car guy.......and that area and south of it has a lot of body shops and machine/speed shops like automotion, RPM, quinlan....etc
