I'm planning on relocating to San Diego for a job very soon. I live on the East Coast now. My job would be downtown SD and hybrid. I am in my 40s with pets. Where should I look for housing? I may rent first just to check it out. The pet fees are crazy for renting, so I'm not sure where to look or if I should just buy first. Any advice is appreciated!

You should rent for a year or so to see where the best spots are to buy a house. Most likely you will move out of the city and into the burbs.

You could rent in North Park, in the city etc. Hillcrest is gay friendly.

You'll need to figure out priorities in terms of:
Living space
Updated interior
Amenities
Your own outdoor space
Nearby shared outdoor space
Type of social activities
Walkability
Proximity to ocean/bay

I recommend the Normal Heights and surrounding area. If working downtown it will be easier to commute via public transportation and much better then living out in the burbs and dealing with the daily grind of the traffic commute.

Rent is SD with pets is hard. Breed restrictions, extra fees etc. Even with an ESA letter, landlords here are shady and will try to jack up deposits and not call it a “pet deposit”
