I must put a word in for Cardiff. I moved here after looking in every North County Coastal area, and found it to be the most reasonably priced by far. I have a 2/2 that is MUCH cheaper than 1 BRs I looked at elsewhere. I’ve lived in lots of different situations (SFH, duplex, small and large complexes…) and several SD communities and this is my favorite rental home. In fact, I just signed on for another year, the first place I’ve stayed for more than a year since moving to SD. My boyfriend’s commute to La Jolla is 15 minutes to at 7am and 20-30 minutes home at 4.
I guess I could see the “unfriendly” comment applying in certain situations, but I remember that when I first moved here I thought people were EXTREMELY nice (maybe this is because I moved here from Carmel Valley…).
Good luck looking for your new home! Finding rentals can be brutal (a friend recently compared it to dating).
