San Diego…a little slice of heaven just north of Mexico
It's home to miles of awesome beaches, enormous waves, a 6,000 ft. elevation gain, and the largest state park in California. Close your eyes for a moment and the mild, Mediterranean-like climate might fool you into thinking you were in Italy or Greece…but San Diegans think it’s much better here!
In San Diego, urban renewal is the buzzword and new construction is king. Waterfront skyscrapers (isn’t that an oxymoron?), pricey lofts, condos, classy 5-star hotels and chic boutiques, cafes and restaurants keep even the moodiest prince or princess satisfied.
San Diego has over 100 neighborhoods, each with something unique to offer. Parks and a waterfront promenade are coming to North Embarcadero, and Balboa Park will link to downtown. PETCO Park, the home of the Padres, boasts “the best sight lines in baseball with breathtaking views” and has revitalized the entire downtown area. The Gaslamp District is a chic neighborhood where locals shop, dine, dance, drink and peruse the many galleries.
If you’re looking for an apartment in San Diego, think about the lifestyle you’re looking for. Do you want to drop into your studio to freshen up and then get out on the town? Then look for downtown San Diego apartments. If you need walking paths for your pup (need a pet-friendly apartment?) check out our city map and look for the big swaths of green parks. No doubt, there’s a nearby San Diego apartment for rent that will keep you and the pooch happy!
But whoa, dude…if you’re just jonesin’ for some sun, surf, blade and board action, you probably already know that SD is home to Sector9 Skateboards, TransWorld Surf, Rusty Surfboards and Tony Hawk himself.
All play and no work makes one really tan but really dull. So, San Diego is rich in business, technology and the military. The U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps, among others, have staked a claim here. The University of California San Diego (UCSD), UCSD Medical Center, the Salk Institute in La Jolla and other premier research institutes have made this area one of the most influential in biotech. Add in agriculture, computer sciences, manufacturing, financial services, tourism; the list goes on.
So head for the border, but don’t cross it—everything you want is here.
