WGx Poll: Location, Location, Location

Just a quick “WG-in-the-News” update this morning … with a Real Estate focus.

As is our mantra … WGx scours the Internet so you don’t have to …

Local real estate weblog – and real estate panic-mongerer – “Burbed” has set its sites on another Willow Glen property for sale, this time a home for sale near Schallenberger Elementary.

Actually, the 4-bed 2-bath home on Tenaya Drive has already been sold, but Burbed enjoyed playing with the realtor’s MLS listing, which celebrated the glorious heritage of Tenaya Drive, calling it “one of the greatest streets surrounding Schallenberger Elementary.” Burbed couldn’t leave that one alone:

After all, this is the greatest street surrounding Schallenberger Elementary – not just a good street, the greatest. History books have been written about this street and how it conquered would be contenders. Those weakling lanes, avenues, courts, and drives were no match for this street.

Tenaya. It’s the street of champions. Without this street, your children are at risk.

So please, think of the children. Start camping out on Tenaya now so that you can get a house on the great street of what must be the greatest elementary school in the history of mankind.

Of course, a cursory review of the map reveals even more realtor hyperbole. Tenaya — although nearby — doesn’t really “surround” Schallenberger. Technically, one of the greatest streets surrounding Schallenberger would probably have to be either Cottle Avenue, Koch Lane, Avalon Drive, or Gerald Way. But in either case, WGx invites you to decide:

And speaking of great streets in Willow Glen, WGx is happy to observe that the long-for-sale home on the “corner” of Dry Creek Road & Cherry Avenue appears to have finally sold. It’s been on-and-off the market since WGx first spotted it nearly 18 months ago.

Say all you want about Tenaya Drive and Schallenberger, but you can’t deny the uniqueness of the house that cuts Cherry in half.
