Hi Folks,

It seems like there are quite a few people on this forum who are living in this area.

I have considered purchasing 2nd property in this area, specifically within 2-3 miles of the Pitts/BayPoint BART station, and was hoping to get some recommendations on desirable areas.

I've checked out the area myself and particularly like the neighborhoods just southeast of the BART station (just south of W Leland and just east of Bailey - near Hillsdale Park). It looks like these are 3 bedroom homes with ~1300 or so sq-ft and ranging in price from about $100/sq-ft to $125/sq-ft.

For the folks who live there, is BP or Pitts typically more desirable? And is north or south of Highway-4 typically more desirable?

I'm also seeking out a good real estate agent that specializes in that area, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Luke

Some of you folks need a better sense of direction. South of the BART station is the newer homes. The section he is specifically referring to are the dope cribs near San Marcos.

Nice house from when I've driven by and I've personally never heard of ANYTHING bad in those homes.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Interesting... this is the first time I am hearing anything bad about the Hillsdale Park area.

Do you have any other recommendations around there?

I expect crime to be a bit higher near BART, but I still think from a rental standpoint that this convenience is more desirable than getting way out there to the east.

ya this was my idea of south of fwy also, = 110 bailey, west pittsburg, deanza, old projects etc...san marcos is right above bart, the houses r nice, i feel the neigborhoods are going to shit, they are becoming very ghetto...alot of break ins and house licks....

That's due to all the foreclosures in Contra Costa County. Neighbor hoods are changing everywhere. Relocating people doesn't help either. Budget cuts on police forces and patrol areas are also affected. Money in this economy runs this entire aspect in circles. It sucks!!! You will find a good investment in real estate out this way....the commute is the biggest thing that sucks. good luck. Don't give up.

Thanks for the reply.

I actually just started the hunt so I am trying to gain some familiarity with the area. Close proxomity to BART is how I am trying to minimize some of the hurt of the longer commute. But again, this will be a 2nd home.

I would stay away from P-town!! I'm in brentwood and I couldn't be happier, also Bart should be here soon!! Good luck Luke [patriot]

Why stay away from Pitts?
 
Posted by BUKSING (Member # 6594) on :
 
I work in p-town on willow pass rd between railroad and bailey and take Bailey to concord/walnut creek all the time. The burg and baypoint ain't even cool. I'd never move out there. The real east bay is where it's at. My commute is actually an hour to get to work.

$100-125 per sq ft? Thats low for what I paid in newark. Think I paid around $225-260 per.

My boy lives off of bay point and some one was just killed in his area not to long ago. Also he's been at gun point for his back pack going to work to get on bart. He says there's alot of crime in his area.

I would look at antioch or brentwood if you are looking for something in that area. Antioch isnt as good as it used to be but there are still some good areas. a little longer commute but I dont think you will get many renters in the area you are looking at. I dont know many people who would want to raise a family in bay point. I would think a single person would only care about how close to bart the homes are, put I dont know why a one person would rent a three bedroom house.

you can find some deals in brentwood my girlfriend just picked up a 4 bedroom house about 1900 sq. feet in brentwood for 215k. the house is in great shape move in condition
 
Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :
 
why dont you just look at concord?? homes are decently priced, neighborhoods are better and safer and easier to rent out plus a lot of these houses are close to schools so you can rent to that type of family instead of drug dealers.
antioch is getting worse and worse every year, i wouldnt pick anything upp in pitt or antioch.
 
Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :
 
I appreciate all the responses and they are eye opening certainly.

For starters, I certainly don't expect this area to be the safest or have lowest crime. It's priced at what it is for a reason. You get a lot of real estate for not a lot of money at the compromise of longer commute and higher crime.

Pitt/BP and Vallejo have the highest annual rent to mortgage ratios in the entire Bay Area. A big reason for that is that this is predominantly a low to lower middle class region where rampant foreclosures are reducing the rental supply and people don't have down payment to buy a home themselves which is why investors are coming out on top (another example of the rich getting richer).

There is not a region in the Bay Area accessible to BART where your money will go further than Pitt/BP. There are some regions in Oakland and Richmond where the price per sq/ft is comparable, but you will not get the same quality. Of course, as a result, there will be some compromises.

From what I am gathering, the rental market further east into Antioch/Oakley is not as strong and since this is an investment property, that's a huge objective of mine.

I'm just trying to gauge how bad it really is. Obviously you pass a point where no matter how cost effective it is or how high the rent:price ratios are, it's just too dangerous and not worth it. This is why I am not looking at East Oakland and not looking at Richmond's Iron Triangle for instance, even though the price per sq-ft is comparable.

So far, I've gotten quite a bit of mixed opinions but there certainly is no shortage of investors buying up properties in Pitt/BP at the current pricing levels which is a good sign.

And for the Concord recommendation, there is a HUGE premium in Concord over Pitt/BP in price per sq-ft. Of course it is a more desirable city, but it would take me 10yrs to make back my down payment in Concord compared to 5yrs in Pitt/BP given the current rental market conditions.

For comparison sake, I live in the Oakland Hills and my mortgage exceeds what I can rent the place out for. This is typical of more affluent area. So when it comes to my current house, I am speculating on the housing market eventually rebounding (which I don't expect will happen for 5-8yrs).

Lot's of research has gone into this on my part (on paper), but it's the experience within the area that I am looking at that I am not too familiar with.

Keep the replies coming guys! Much appreciated.

Some people may not be familiar with the BP/Pitt/Antioch areas...

While places like Concord, Hayward, Fremont, Newark are cost effective at ~$200-250/sq-ft, BP and Pitt are on a whole other map... 50% lower...

Price per Sq-Ft:
BP - $115
Pitt - $110
Pinole - $185
Concord - $195
Hayward - $193
Newark - $256
Oakland Hills - $400

Monthly Rent per Sq-Ft:
BP - N/A
Pitt - $1.10
Pinole - N/A
Concord - $1.31
Hayward - $1.22
Newark - $1.36
Oakland Hills - $1.83

(data courtesy of zillow.com)

You can see that from an investment stand-point, BP and Pitt are the way to go. Of course it all is a moot point if I get shot, lol.

So what does this mean? Well, if we take Pittsburg/BP as a reference and compare it to Concord for instance... Even though Concord is 77% more expensive to buy a house in, you can rent your Concord house for only 19% more than Pitts/BP!


What if we compare Pittsburg/BP to Oakland Hills? Even though Oakland Hills is 264% more expensive to buy a house in, you can rent your Oakland Hills house for only 66% more...

Affluence and safety never sounded more expensive to me than it does now! Wow!

Lastly, I have to admit, this is a bit concerning when cafords members are bad mouthing a city... I have seen the level of broke down primered foxbodies that have received a "that's cleeeeeeaaan" comment on this site.

Hey Dan, throw us a bone huh, lol.

Where did you buy your investment? And without getting into absolute numbers, what is your annual rent/annual mortgage ratio there?

Valley Springs.

I dont understand your ratio dealio, I bought the property with cash at auction and rent it for $1,000 a month.

Dan,

I don't think I am willing to put up that kind of initial investment required by foreclosure so I will be focused on REO and normal listings.

Glad that the VS property is working out for you. [patriot]

u knwo what im talkinga bout luke..strictly looking at it as a place to live and knowing why there is a big discrepancy on the price/sqft ignoring what the best ROI for a rental. from a rental standpoint youll always come up buying in these less ideals area when you break it down to rent/sqft and price/sqft. jut wouldnt make sense to buy in the other places you've listed since youd be seeing much less return. shit...dalycity is $400+/sqft and im still considering buying here but thats cuz it fits my requirements and a place where id personally live.

you damn engineers over analyze stuff [Razz]

Alex,your absolutely right, as an engineer I absolutely cannot be sold on anything and must convince myself of everything before making any moves, lol... hence why I have a dislike of sales people...

Interestingly, all the investment areas I myself would want to live translate to higher monthly mortgage than I would be getting back through rent. In other words, i am strictly banking on the real estate market rebounding... otherwise I lose.

Many of the low class areas where I would not even think about living, well, those are the areas where I am in the green montly (rent exceeds mortgage)...

Funny how that works out. Intuitively I would have never imagined it without crunching the numbers and seeing it on paper myself.

Hey Luke,

Like you said previously, houses probably won't rebound for another 5-8 years. I don't think we are even close to hitting rock bottom on housing prices yet. I am also in the market to buy, but I'm going to keep stacking cash for another year or two and keep a close eye on the market. It's a HUGE investment, as you know, so don't just settle with anything that doesn't meet exactly what you are looking for.

-Andy

Just one example: The house that im living in now, my parents bought in '78. Never once had a problem living here. Nice quiet neighborhood. Mostly older people. Well over the last year, 5+ houses including ours were robbed, two weeks ago my moms car got stolen, and just last week they tried to steal my Cobra. All in my driveway. We even have securtiy lights outside. They don't care.

When I called to report it to my insurance company, the guy said this was the worst year they've had for claims. From pitt,antioch,oakley,brentwood and discovery bay nothing but house robberies, stolen cars, vandalism, squatters ect. Plus they just had to downsize the police force due to budget cuts. The population grows and the police force downsizes. Not a good thing to have.

Every town has its problems but its getting real bad out here. Even the "nice" areas are getting over ran.

Ive been looking at homes out here and the prices are right but I don't think saving money is worth all the bullshit.

+1 What part of Pitt?

From what folks have told me, Pittsburg varies very much from neighborhood to neighborhood and you have to do your homework and know what areas to stay out of.

I've been told some general rules about the region:

#1 - Regions south of highway-4 are generally better than north of highway-4

#2 - Stay away from the water

#3 - The area south of highway-4 (between Bailey and the golf course) is pretty desirable as far as Pittsburg is concerned.

#4 - West Leland is generally more desirable than East Leland

#5 - The region of Bay Point just north of Evora is desirable

I was driving around yesterday and came up on the corner of Range Rd and Wedgewood Drive. Some Cafords members left a lot of donut rubber there! You should be ashamed of yourself! [Razz]

#5 - The region of Bay Point just north of Evora is desirable

I was driving around yesterday and came up on the corner of Range Rd and Wedgewood Drive. Some Cafords members left a lot of donut rubber there! You should be ashamed of yourself! [Razz]
I live in Antioch but the whole area is getting like that.
this whole time you have been talking about Antioch when you said "that area" below? LOL

I appreciate the input as everyone's feedback is helpful. I'm sure there are a lot of similarities between Bay Point, Pitt, and Antioch.

I am curious about a particular neighborhood in Pitt however where I am looking to buy.
