L.H.
Hi M.,
I am also a military wife who's husband is currently on deployment for 6 months. If you are looking for a military housing, I would recommend the Lincoln Military Housing located on College Grove Way. It's centrally located, less than a mile from park, less than two miles from school and is probably about 10 minutes to Balboa Park. It's a great location, close to 94 freeway, shopping, banks and more. Since you have a 2 and 3 1/2 year old, the school in Rolando would be perfect for you for they provide headstart for kids 3 years of age and potty trained. We live in the Rolando area and I will be taking my almost three year old son for the headstart this coming September.
We used to live in the North Park (actually considered South Park) area for more than 14 years. My daugther went to McKinley from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. She will be going back to McKinley next year for she is on a GATE/Seminar program and Rolando school doesn't offer those programs.
I am a Real Agent and if you are looking to rent a condo or a house, rather than moving to a military housing, I would be more than happy to help you by sending you available rental properties in the area of your choice. Let me know if I can help you in any way. I will be out of town for two and a half weeks but you can reach me at ###-###-#### or ###-###-#### before June 25 and after July 13th. You can also email me at ____@____.com
Good luck and God Bless,
Lyn
