Alta Vista: Alta Vista Drive

Posted on by
Not a National Park, but still an apt name for one of the main streets in our subdivision.
A look up the street. Or is it down?
The first house you come to looks oddly familiar. Oh wait! That’s my old place. Three years of memories there. Wish I hadn’t been compelled to move.
My former next-door neighbor’s house. She still sends me messages, but I’m just an understanding ear. Nothing more.
Another barren stretch on Alta Vista Drive.
This might be my favorite house in the neighborhood. I like the way it looks…traditional styling. Four bedrooms and a swimming pool. It was recently listed for sale for 24 million pesos. That’s American priced at $475,000. Not surprisingly, there were no takers.
Another stretch of empty street.

Then three houses in a row:

One…
Two...
And three. Once again, vast stretches of emptiness, then suddenly three built side-by-side. Hope they like the neighbors.
A rainy morning view from Alta Vista Drive. If I were building I might go for this lot.
These folks would be my next-door neighbor. But I’d leave plenty of space between us. Promise!
Someone is building this place across the street.
They’ve got a way to go yet though before it’s completed.
Right around the corner is the Alta Vista community center. It is a nice facility…tennis and basketball courts. Big swimming pool too. We use it periodically for the Hash On-Home.
One more open patch…
A recently completed house. They used steel-frame construction and it went up very quickly…
The last house on the street. Still in the final stages of construction. Featuring excellent views of Easter mountain.
And so ends Alta Vista Drive. This pathway is the rear exit from the subdivision and I hike out this way regularly. I’ve also seen folks coming and going on motorbikes. I wouldn’t want to risk that though.

Sorry about the litter in that last photo. It’s from the construction workers building that white house. I really don’t understand why it is so fucking hard to grasp the concept of taking your trash with you.

So, there you have a tour of a major thoroughfare in our subdivision. Also, one of the most developed streets here. Still more to come though, so hold on for the next installment.

  2. I also like that one house. Nice curb appeal.

    But $475K seems pretty steep.

  3. Yeah, I think you could build the same house for less than that. It’s been for sale (with signage) twice in the last three years with no buyers (signs down, but same cars in the driveway). I did ask once if renting was an option and was told no.
