The people recommending Little Italy did not read the instructions, considering you’re looking for a place that is affordable.
You should look in mission valley. You can’t walk to many places (including downtown), but it’s generally less than a 10 minute drive to downtown, and hillcrest, north park, and pb are super close. There are a ton of communities (including very new ones) that have all of the amenities youre looking for at more affordable rates than north park/little Italy/the beach communities.
I love the Promenade Rio Vista in Mission Valley! Lived there for 2 years and it was the best. In unit dishwasher, washer dryer, AC, and great amenities. Gym was solid, had a game room, pools, etc. Without traffic, mission valley is a 10-15 min drive to downtown and with traffic, you’re looking at 20-25. Decently priced compared to little Italy for sure.
Also loved the Promenade!! Their pricing fluctuates depending on capacity, so Jan/Feb is a good time to sign
This is one of the most expensive and overpriced property markets in the world, due to a confluence of factors such as bad state government policy and misaligned incentives (prop 13), great weather, good scenery, etc. You should not move to San Diego if your goal is to be financially responsible or save money. If you want an apartment that isn’t a complete dump, you will pay through the nose.
Generally speaking the more you move inland in SD the cheaper it's going to be. With the amenities you listed you should expect to pay anywhere from 1.8 to 3.5 depending for a one bedroom apt. I would recommend the Poway area.
Little Italy is great. A ton of old housing with amenities but also some new developments that are more state of the art. You can also check out City Heights or Ocean Beach!
Awesome thanks!
Little Italy is the most common place you will find amenities that you requested. However, this area is really expensive. You may have to move a bit off of the downtown to get a cheaper price and this means having to use public transportation or having a car. Also having roommates can make it chapter and have better amenities if you are able to.
Hey there! The Pulse Millenia apartments in National City are beautiful and relatively affordable (for SD/CA standards, anyway). Great amenities as well.
There are so many apartments available for rent in San Diego. You have to personally reach out to the dealers in order for you to know the details regarding the appliances inside the unit.
Close to downtown will be expensive, but you might enjoy being close to the downtown of a smaller city on the light rail. Check out Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa, or Lemon Grove. Not all apartments are online, and those that are aren't on every website. I would stay away from downtown, Imperial Blvd., Euclid Avenue, University Avenue, or El Cajon Blvd. since they are crowded and depressing. You will be surprised at the high prices and how tiny the apartments are if you have rented in any other normal city.
Thanks everyone for your inputs.
What is your budget?
I’m pretty flex but nothing above $2k
Not sure what your price range is, but I lived at the Promenade in Mission Valley for 3 years and they have great spacious apts and amenities (pool/gym/parking/even a little wine bar and tavern) for 1.8k-2.3k depending on the size.
