What kinds of apartments are available to rent in San Diego, CA?

San Diego's rental market offers a very strong selection of listings, with an average of 5,192 available per month. The majority of these listings are 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments, making up 34% and 36% of the market, respectively. Studios account for 9% of listings, while 3-bedroom apartments make up 13%. Many San Diego apartments offer desirable amenities, with in-unit laundry being a standout feature, available in 147% of listings (due to some listings having multiple units with in-unit laundry). Outdoor space is also a common perk, found in 127% of apartments (again, due to multiple units per listing). Additionally, air conditioning is a standard feature, available in 129% of listings. These figures are based on historical data, but they should give you a sense of what to expect in the current market.

How much does rent cost in San Diego, CA and when is it cheapest?

San Diego's average rent prices have decreased by about 3% to $2,966 per month, on average, for all rental sizes and types. The average cost of a 1-bedroom decreased by 5% to $2,451 per month, while 2-bedrooms dropped by 3% to $3,222 per month. Studios saw a 7% decrease to $1,995 per month. However, 3-bedrooms bucked the trend, increasing by 2% to $4,226 per month. Prices in San Diego vary depending on the time of year. August is the month with the highest rent, with prices increasing by 6% compared to December, the month with the lowest rent. If you're looking for a competitive edge, April is the month with more demand compared to available inventory. In contrast, December has the least demand, making it a potentially good time to find a deal with less competition.

What architectural styles are common in San Diego, CA apartments?

San Diego's property market showcases a strong presence of contemporary architecture, with nearly 60% of properties reflecting this modern style. Mediterranean-style homes also have a notable presence, accounting for around 22% of the market. These two styles are the most prevalent in San Diego, offering a blend of sleek, modern lines and classic, sun-kissed charm. Architectural style in San Diego is representative of a subset of listings available on Zumper over the last few years.

What are the best neighborhoods for renters in San Diego, CA?

San Diego's diverse neighborhoods offer a range of options for renters, from trendy hotspots to budget-friendly areas. At Zumper, we've analyzed our listings to determine which neighborhoods best fit various lifestyles. For those who prioritize social living, East Village, Horton Plaza, Cortez, and Core-Columbia are top choices. These neighborhoods offer a high level of safety, a variety of restaurants, and excellent walk scores, making them ideal for those who value a vibrant social scene. Pet owners will find Marina, Little Italy, Cortez, and Core-Columbia to be the most pet-friendly neighborhoods, with features like dog parks, pet supply stores, and outdoor spaces. Our data shows that these areas have the most apartments with pet-friendly amenities, making them perfect for renters with furry friends. If you're looking for the most in-demand neighborhoods, North Park and Marina are the top two, with 0.53 and 1.92 times more consumer interest than the market average, respectively. However, be prepared for a higher price point, with 1-bedroom rents averaging $6,570 per month in both neighborhoods. Note: At Zumper, we manually calculate lifestyle scores to ensure accuracy and provide the most relevant information for our users.

What are the most affordable neighborhoods in San Diego, CA?

For budget-conscious renters, Colina Del Sol, Chollas Creek, Fairmont Village, and Teralta West offer affordable options, with 1-bedroom rents ranging from $1,499 to $1,800 per month, significantly lower than the city median. These neighborhoods offer a more affordable alternative without sacrificing too much in terms of amenities and lifestyle.
