is Linda Vista dangerous?
There's a home I'm interested in near the 6900-7100 block of Fulton St in Linda Vista, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me any information about that area? I heard a woman got assaulted just this April 2009 waiting near a bus stop...  |

There are OK parts of Linda Vista, but that particular area is gang central. Avoid. |

Yeah.Right next to the park.That's where a few gangs meet up and do there stuff.It's a scary part of the City.Google Map it and go to street view and the area itself is not that attractive. |

What about area around Linda Vista Rd & Mesa College Drive? I am looking at that area to rent and possibly buy.
Many thanks for your views.

WOW, has it really become that bad??? I grew up on Wheatley st. just North of Linda Vista rd. in the Navy housing, and have many GREAT memories from there.
I remember a "Padre Gold" or something like that on the corner of Genesee & Linda Vista rd. and a Jack-n-the box just west of there, and a "tiny" shopping area mostly Vietnamese from what I remember.
I am half Hawaiian & half white (although I LOOK mostly white, HAHA) and the wife is Mexican so the ethnicities DON'T bother me at all!!! I just remember the good times being a kid in that area, of course that was in 1983 when I was 16!!!

I would rent first for 6 months before buying there. That section is very close to the high school, and it may have problem teens wandering the streets, and related crime. It is also close to I-805 traffic noise.
I know condo prices in that area dropped substantially more than other areas. Makes me think people are walking away from their mortgages just to leave that area.
I would also assume there will be lots of condo owners renting to Mesa college students, so expect loud parties. |
