Sources have confirmed that the MTV reality television program will be filming in and around the 6,845-square-foot, nearly $3.5 million home in Bird Rock, located at 5212 Chelsea St. According to www.realworldhouses.com, the entire beachfront property, which totals 9,800 square feet, contains a house with five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, a private, below-ground pool and spa, and ocean views from every floor. Residents confirmed that the site has been under construction for several weeks to prepare the cast members\u2019 future home. There are mixed sentiments about this recent development, especially from residents of the quiet, family-friendly neighborhood of Bird Rock. Tom Patton was visiting his parents who have lived in the neighborhood for 40 years. “I don\u2019t think they\u2019d be very happy,” he said. “My dad gets a little consternated about any of the goings-on in the neighborhood. He\u2019s retired and he likes to be in a nice, quiet neighborhood,” Patton said of his father, Stuart Patton, a retired UC San Diego professor. “There\u2019s a place for TV and movies. I don\u2019t think this would be the place for that,” he said. “If you\u2019ve looked around, you can see why they\u2019ve picked this neighborhood. They\u2019ll just have to live with it. I mean, they won\u2019t be here forever.” Another neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, said curious onlookers and members of the production and construction teams have increased traffic and more police officers have been patrolling the neighborhood. “I mean it\u2019s a public street, park wherever you want, but it\u2019s common courtesy that you don\u2019t park every day in front of someone\u2019s house until 10 o\u2019clock at night,” he said of two vehicles that have parked in front of his neighbor\u2019s home every day, he said, for the past several weeks. “Hopefully, they get in and get it done, and by the time that people catch wind of it, it\u2019ll be done,” he said. “They\u2019ve got to go someplace I guess, but I\u2019ll be glad when they\u2019re gone.” Following several complaints that were made by neighbors in the area, the production company, RW Productions, sent out a letter to the neighborhood stating that all filming and production will occur within the house and that there will be minimal disruption to the neighborhood. But some residents and local business owners have concern based on what happened in 2004 when “The Real World” came to San Diego. The show was filmed out of a former seafood restaurant-turned-mansion in Point Loma, and during that season two arrests were made and a rape allegation of a 22-year-old cast member was investigated by the San Diego Police Department. Moondoggies, Pacific Beach Bar and Grill, Johnny V\u2019s, Miller\u2019s Field and Beachwood have confirmed that a representative from the show has contacted them and that they will be filming segments of the show inside the Pacific Beach locations. Despite the allowance the establishments will receive, bartenders, doormen and managers of the bars remain hesitant. In 2004, two alcohol-related fights ensued at bars located on Garnet Avenue in PB. One occurred in a line outside of Moondoggies and another resulted in an arrest inside Pacific Beach Bar and Grill. “I think it\u2019ll be good for business as far as sheer numbers, but I think the type of people that this is going to bring in is not as good,” said a doorman at Bub\u2019s Dive Bar. Kellen Rayner, manager at Miller\u2019s Field, doesn\u2019t seem too worried. “We are really good when it comes to staff, and we haven\u2019t had a problem in 18 months. We\u2019re pretty good at nipping a situation before it happens,” Rayner said. According to business owners who have been contacted in regard to the show, filming is set to begin on June 16. Joe Parker, President of the Bird Rock Community Council, said a representative from the San Diego Film Commission will be making unannounced visits to the set to make sure rules are being followed, such as “quiet hours” between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. He also said the entire project will last about four months, two and a half months of which will involve filming. \u2014 additional reporting by Kendra Hartmann<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
