Former San Jose Meth House Where Bombs Were Also Made Lists for $1.55 Million — and Buyer Has to Clean It
New York Post ^ | Oct. 24, 2023 | Patrick Reilly

A California home used as a bomb and meth making operation before it was raided by the FBI earlier this year is now on the market for a whopping $1.55 million — and a buyer will have to foot the bill to decontaminate the property.

The 2,743-square foot, 6-bedroom house located on a quiet cul-de-sac in San Jose “has [an] inactive Meth lab and meth contamination,” according to the listing on Zillow.

The home “has not been cleared of contamination” and will be sold to the buyer “it’s it current state,” the listing says. Cleaning costs will be tacked on to the home price, which was listed for $1.425 million on Oct. 13 before increasing by $125,000 a week later.

I think Vista Park is just east of where 85 and 87 merge, and West of Marshall Cottle Park. Anyone else confirm that?

What they don’t say, but I am wondering is whether this house is also an epicenter of Identity Theft.

I don’t know, but I wouldn’t pay that much for that house. Ca. was nice to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

Think what 1.5 million could get you in Tennessee

Some neighborhoods in Nashville are more expensive than this now.

I love these homes where you pull up right to your front door from off the street and in less than 2 seconds, someone can run right off the sidewalk and stick a gun in your back. A million and a half for a home like that ? WTF ?!?

Yes, it’s Vista Park. We lived a few blocks east down Chynoweth from that house from ‘73 to ‘75 before the 85 and 87 freeways and Gunderson HS were built. The 85/87 interchange was farm land. All those houses are only about 6 feet apart. Can’t believe someone was running a meth lab and the neighbors didn’t know being that close. I’ve been back to San Jose on business trips. It was nice back then but the whole place is a dump now despite the prices. The schools have always been horrible. The weather is decent, though. There wasn’t A/C in the house and it never really needed it.

I had a friend in Ca. that sent me a picture of the house he was buying for almost 600K in the Castro District of San Francisco. It was a 2 bedroom bungalow. The Castro District is also know as one of the first gay neighborhoods in the United States. I don't think he was gay, but who knows. He kind of looked like Gaetz actually. I say friend, but he was really someone that worked at the City of New Orleans with me as a contractor, and we became friends.

I asked him if he was crazy. I told him he could get a much larger place here in Louisiana for a 5th of that price.

I wonder if he regrets his decision. I haven't talked to him since.

I think Dionne Warwick is going to be disappointed:

You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space, there'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

Like New York, people keep their heads down & see nothing and they don’t make waves.

Well, it probably went way up in value since he bought it. But I wouldn’t want to live in that neighborhood.

When they wrote that song it was true.

I attended Santa Clara and lived in the county for 20 years. Now I live in the free County of Placer. The only thing I miss about SC county is the weather

More than a few members of my family gravitated out to the Bay Area. The prices are insane. I just don’t know how there’s not going to be a massive price collapse out there. I’m more worried about the idiots selling out and relocating here to TN, and bringing their psychotic Stalinazi politics with them.

Of course, those politics are already here in Nashville proper, but at complete odds with the state gov’t, which has to babysit our city now for every little thing. Amazing how fast a single city or a few can end up destroying an entire state. In the case of CA, it was the San Francisco Communists that spread through the state like wildfire.

55 years ago, California was still the Golden State (although the $hit was already hitting the fan).

I think of lyrics to songs from the '60s and earlier that make all these cities sound so marvelous. Now they are all dystopias.

The bluest skies you've ever seen in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green in Seattle

If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago

Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I love L.A. (we love it)

We've seen the Sphinx
And seen the Cliffs of Dover
And we can safely say
The most fabulous sight
Is New York in the light of the day

The token virtual-signaling solar panels really detract from its architectural aesthetic. Hopefully there isn’t some 20-year solar lease on them that requires a buyout.

I think they are hitting price over heating myself. The buyer may end up losing his shirt unless he can flip it quickly.
