Are there any specific "gotchas" for that area that I should be aware of besides age of roof and age of HVAC? Is the "grey plastic pipe" issue something I need to specifically check for? Are there specific repair permits I or the home inspector should be checking for?

Thanks all!

I wouldn't discount living above 466 because of the age of the year built! IMHO

I live in Alhambra and have no trouble getting to where I need to go. I'll admit, a real estate person was trying to get me to buy a house off of Morse Blvd. If you don't have a traffic light, you might have to wait awhile to make your turn or so I was told.

House built in 98, I replaced the A/C in 2017, 30 year roof, architectural shingled replaced in 2018. I have no bond. Like most home owners, I have done updates to my liking. Soon to replace the rugs with vinyl wood type flooring so I'll be all set.

FWIW - I have no intention in selling my home!!!

The area just below 466, Lynhaven or thereabouts, is also lovely and near to doctors, shopping, restaurants and the squares,(SS and LSL). Approximately built around 2005,

If I remember right, the grey pipe issue affected people living in the historic area.

Only you can decide what's right for you. Best of luck in your decision!
