I just came back from my noon workout in Mission Bay Park. What apartment hunting I have done has mostly been in a couple of areas: Hillcrest, City Heights, Little Italy, etc. Part of my thinking is that I want to be in a walkable community. But now I’m kind of torn. What is more important to me: having a good coffee shop nearby or having a park nearby to workout in. Hmm. Cuz I can make my coffee at home.

I guess a lot of what this boils down to is, how much is a walkable community worth. Because, they usually come with a park nearby. But if I make my coffee at home, I could go to a crappier, cheaper area because those areas have apartment villages that always have some shitty little park nearby.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I still think I’m willing to pay a premium for a walkable community. I’ll keep thinking on it.
