3446 Ybarra Rd, Spring Valley 91978
On 0.7 acres with 2 car garage, RV parking and covered patio, but with only 1,114 sq.ft., 2 bedrooms & 1 bath- this is a dated structure. There are many like this in Spring Valley and surrounding countryside and it is a plus for those who prefer not to live in a planned, regulated community. The price per square foot is still a bit high for this area, but remember that smaller houses typically do have a higher sq.ft. cost.
You know the kind of people who live in these older homes in older neighborhoods. Some original owners- aged and reclusive; some families with children grown and gone; some adventurous younger people who are determined to fix the joint up even though they work two jobs & have nothing left after the mortgage & diapers. Where might you fit in?
