Living here for 30 years. 1- La Jolla, 2- Del Mar, 3 - Rancho Santa Fé if you don't mind going away from the coast and far behind 4- some parts of Leucadia/Solana beach.

[@eentun9340]

You selected the best 3 & Rancho Santa Fe my own outmost favorite place to live 👌

[@facemakerable]

well done

[@Dar1234567ren]

Very well done Video. We live in PQ and we love it.

[@lifeinsandiego]

Glad to hear it! PQ is a gem

[@CuteTexasToads]

FYI - The Yellow Deli is legitimately a cult run by "the twelve tribes" and they use the deli to recruit people. Recommend you avoid that place going forward 😂

Average price of a house in the city of San Diego is around $1million+ dollars or more, obviously depends on which neighborhood, I'm no realtor. Average rental prices are around $2,000. - $3,000. per month for your own apt, or more, unless you want to live with strangers/roommates, which that price is right around $1,800 for just a ROOM to rent. San Diego is an almost impossibility for most lower to middle-class folks in the city. In the east county (La Mesa, Lemon Grove, El Cajon, Alpine, etc.) you will find apts for about $1,000 per month. Do your own research.

Hello Nick! I just found you on KZbin after I relocated to San Diego. Do you have any video-taking about affordable housing or job-related issues? I fell in love with San Diego 15 years ago. Until I decided to move there and start a new one. However, I'm just moving on with My car and personal items. No job either. But I'm not worried because I'm a hustler. Look forward to hearing from you. Have a nice day!🙂

Hi Monica! Feel free to shoot me an email and I can break down any of those questions you have [e-mail]

[@Paiadakine]

Explain why in your other video to avoid living in San Marcos, Vista, and Carmel Valley?

[@lifeinsandiego]

I mention the negatives about those areas in that video. Each area has its own positives and negatives which we explain in basically all videos we make

[@user-xd1ze4jf6e]

No Chula Vista???

[@richalfres3727]

The key is to focus on places with no homeless camps. Cross off downtown for this reason

[@barbarac41]

If SD is so expensive and reserved for rich folks only, how people with retail, restaurant, beauty industry, education jobs live there? Where?

[@eddyherrera3207]

They live like peasants in a studio or efficiency.

[@AllenBeach]

Many live in Tijuana and commute from there, to be honest.

[@MIrwin-wf9xo]

These places are not really San Diego. They are north San Diego country

[@user-xd1ze4jf6e]

South Bay / south county is more SD (South SD is literally west of Chula Vista). If you’re north of La Jolla, you’re not San Diego

[@pat.l.h.2730]

You are right South of the Freeway Eight is awful specially Eastlake Chula Vista, lots of crime, old city, poor infrastructure, homeless camps, section eight, definitely stay away.

[@user-xd1ze4jf6e]

The sarcasm hits 100% 😅

[@Englim10]

Why is san marcos also included in your areas to avoid in san diego.

[@cherylspencer3662]

HOA's

I love the older homes, apartments, condos and wish they wouldn't "upgrade". Can't stand today's styles and buildings - just plain awful and boring, depressing, square, boxy, ugly with no workmanship or culture or creativity or detailing. Grey only belongs on battleships. Black is stupid in a hot sunny climate. Bright, cheerful colors are best. Every place you look at has the horrible "upgrading" which ruins it and jacks up the price. I chose my place cause it wasn't upgraded and had all the features I wanted and NEEDED. Price was less too. 50s - 80s were best. Everything started going downhill in the 90s. This new stuff has totally ruined whole neighborhoods. So sad.

[@lifeinsandiego]

I agree, I dig the older neighborhoods/homes a bit more. It adds a lot more character and charm

[@Drpeppehr]

big disagree, some of the old grandma carpeted apartments and condos that reek of cigarettes or the oldschool grand theft auto looking buildings get old after awhile. Sometimes having a newer building with amenities and high ceilings is actually way more worth the $2500 rather than paying for old grandma homes

[@dawnreneegmail]

Savvy home shoppers pay attention to builders and build years. If I want good 'bones' ( structure lumber, electrical, plumbing & sewer) I'm looking at builds late forties before prefabricated house building became big. Nothing earlier than the 1920s as all the bones probably need a major upgrade and anything designated historical? Run! Recently building companies nationwide have been identified with shoddy design, buried bad soil engineering reports, much less quality materials. Imagine your brand-new recently built home falling apart to the point you have to move out for your safety. Shop wisely & thanks Nick for helping us through💁🏼‍♀️
