So I've heard all about Rancho del Oro is probably the most desirable neighborhood in the Oceanside area. Ive even spoken with some Jeffries ranch proponents, but I have an opportunity got get a pretty good deal in the Mission Point community in Oceanside. Its just south of the 76, off Rancho del Oro blvd. Does anyone know the pluses and minuses of this area? It seems really nice and well maintained since its really new.

One of the minor problems seems to be the lack of street parking, since there's a fire lane on the street tract I was looking at. Other than that if you have any opinions, I would be grateful to hear them.

I'd rather have a firelane then a bunch of cars parked on the street from near by rental properties. I haven't seen the area you mentioned, but I did like the Rancho Del Oro neighborhood.

That area is nice all the way from 76 south past 78. Just stay away from the area to the north near the camp pendleton back gate, nice upscale homes there, but many places you wouldn't want to be at night. There are just a few pockets of bad areas in Oceanside and you'll know them when you see them. There is some gang activity and since the bad areas aren't far away they can roam, but out of sight and out of mind during the day. Where you are looking is some of the nicest part.....

My cousin lives in a condo between the 76 and 78. I'd have to agree there are some bad spots in Oside. Some LA influence, and PB type crowd near the coast. The newer area of Mission Point you mention is near some ok and mediocre. Location is usually to blame for low price points of course. I wouldn't feel confident buying in most of Oceanside as an owner occupant. As an investor, there are some great opportunities! So it depends on your perspective.

I am an owner occupant. I am going back to school and Oceanside gives me an opportunity to work in South OC or SD. Sadly I cant really afford to live as close to beach as I'd like. With that said this neighborhood seems nice and pretty safe.

Its one block of the 76 off Ranch Del Oro Blvd. In fact, coming from the beach, after you make a right onto Rancho Del Oro, the first left puts you in the community.

My biggest concerns are about safety of the neighborhood. I have heard about good pockets and bad pockets in OSD, and sometimes you cant tell just by appearance, so i thought I would ask other residents of the city. With any luck once the market rebounds a little Id like to move closer to the beach in Oceanside, but with our current economy, that might be a little while

Have you considered Fire Mountain, which really is the best neighborhood in Oceanside. Between 78 and Oceanside Blvd and west of El Camino Real.

Once the market rebounds? When that happens, it will be HARDER to move closer to the beach. A "bad market" means low priced buyers market. Is your income tied to the housing market somehow?

Somewhat, but what I had in mind was being able to have more significant down payment in the future.
