Bay Point, Ca any info
Hi,
I want more info on Bay Point:
Primarily, due to the high number of foreclosures, does this area have a greater crime rate? Also, what areas are the most desirable? . . . especially how is the area around the BART?
Does this area also suffer from taking longer to appreciate in value as compared to others?

Bay Point is part of Pittsburg.. there are really no desirable parts of Bay Point, though it's far from the worst part of the Bay Area. The area just southwest of Pittsburg BART will probably be quite nice once all the vacant houses get populated again, but as it stands it's out of your stated price range unless you can get them to agree to a major lowball.

I bought a home in June in the southwest hills of Pittsburg in the Oak Hills neighborhood, up the hill from the Bay Point BART station. I have been very happy with the neighborhood so far. It's been quiet, but the neighbors are friendly. The prices seem to be bottoming out at about 50% of what they were 2-3 years ago, although occasionally there will be a good deal that comes up.
The City of Pittsburg seems to be doing a good job planning for the future and doing the best with what they have in these tough economic times. They definitely are working for the betterment of the community including building new schools, creating a vibrant downtown with activities for the whole family, and improving the infrastructure of a city that was neglected for a long time.
I'm happy with my decision to live here and proud to say that I am a resident of Pittsburg.

For many, Bay Point's nickname is Gun Point. Not really a ringing endorsement.
