San Diego, California
With its proximity to Mexico and its amazing climate, San Diego is one of the most popular large cities for living and working. Starting life as a sleepy Spanish mission town, it has grown into a major tourist and retirement city while many major corporations have made it their headquarters.
The weather maintains close to 72 degrees year around making it an ideal climate. No matter where you choose a San Diego apartment, you’ll be close to the Pacific, Mexico and all that Southern California has to offer.
Beaches and Parks
Getting around San Diego is best accomplished by car although there is bus service but it is spare and infrequent in some areas. Balboa Park provides the most attractions of any single area of the city. It houses the San Diego Zoo, probably the premier zoo in the U.S., as well as gardens, parks, and museums.
Downtown has several historic centers as well as being the epicenter for hotels, dining and shopping. Head out to Mission beach for a visit to Shamu and his home at SeaWorld.
There are miles and miles of beautiful beaches to be found so surfers, swimmers, and sailing enthusiasts don’t have to travel far from their San Diego apartments to find their own outdoor space.
Neighborhoods - Trendy or Quiet
There are over 100 named neighborhoods in San Diego but the city can be divided down into a half dozen or so for the sake of getting to know the city.
The area around Balboa Park is very urban, trendy and near many cultural institutions.
Point Loma is a peninsula that juts out into the ocean and has great beach front communities as do Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. PB, OB and MB all offer great rentals with distinct neighborhood feels. Pacific Beach boasts a youthful nightlife, Mission Beach is more family oriented and Ocean Beach tends to be a little bit of a low key scene.
Mid-City and the Northeastern areas are residential suburban while San Ysidro is the closest to the California/Mexico border. Your choices of San Diego apartments are far and wide.
Dining and Drinking Near the Water
Many of the city’s bigger restaurants are located in the downtown area and are frequented by locals and tourists alike. Most will have water views too. Point Loma has a number of more local places like Three Bugalow which is one of the city’s quiet treasures. Other water side dining is to be found in many areas and is always relaxing at the end of a day.At night, the locals head to their neighborhood bars but the main areas for clubbing are in Pacific Beach on Garnet Avenue where patrons go straight from the beach to the bars. Downtown, the Gaslamp area has everything from places like Minus 1 to one of the best dives around, the Waterfront. Once in your San Diego apartment, it will be time to find just which areas work best for your nights out.There’s much to love about life in San Diego.Average Apartment Rent in San Diego, California
