Moving to San Diego - GoFuckYourself.com

Marcus · 05-05-2006, 02:45 PM

Was looking for any and all advice about moving to San Diego. I have never lived there and am moving there in June.

Really any tips on neighborhoods to avoid, I need to rent some storage to put my computers and things until I get a place, and I'm looking for an extended stay place to rent for a week or two until I find an apartment.

Have heard nothing but great things about San Diego and am very excited. Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

I got a place in UTC, real simple to get around and a nice neighborhood. I lived in La Jolla for a few years and traffic there sucks getting in and out. Pacific Beach is cool but really young, Downtown is happening right now and you can rent for a good deal since the guys who bought cannot sell their properties. Del Mar is great too if you work from home, otherwise a little bit of traffic.

Hope this helps,
G

San Diego is a beautiful place

RogerV5 · 05-05-2006, 09:21 PM

its hot in san diego

Halcyon · 05-05-2006, 09:23 PM

my personal fave place is Hillcrest. It is very gay-friendly, so if you can't handle men holding hands, I'd forget that area. But it's a very walking-friendly, easy to get what you need, lots of cool resteraunts/shops kinda area. And a short cab to downtown.

I love north county (Del Mar, Solana Beach), too. But its muuuch quieter.

wtfent · 05-05-2006, 09:41 PM

You need to look in the nice areas of San Diego not the La Jolla, UTC Del Mar ghettos. If you want to be a player you need to move to.... National City, City Heights, Spring Valley, Lincon Acres, Encanto, Shelltown oh yea and the skyline community in Paradise Hills is a very classy place with very affordable rent.

Spunky · 05-05-2006, 09:44 PM

A very beautiful city..you'll enjoy yourself

I'm not a player, Im pretty quiet. I really just want to lock myself in a room with my computers and bust my ass.
I do that now, but I want mountains and nice weather when I do go outside lol.

Thanks, I saw pictures of it and it looked nice. I like to walk outside.

Do you guys know of any extended stay places that let you stay for a few weeks?

Ahaha don't listen to what he said. You don't really want to live in those areas.

I live in San Carlos and I'm looking at a mountain right now from my front bedroom window. San Diego has all sorts of different environments, what exactly are you looking for? Also, there seem to be a lot of open places right now. What you may want to do (I did this when I first moved here) is find some month-to-month place to stay, setup a bed and whatever you need, then shop the city til you find what you really like. I only stayed a month at that place and it ran me about $900, this was about 5 years ago. Yes it was a bit of a headache, but I think you're going to get that no matter what.

Hey Sly
Where did you stay? do you remember?
Im looking on craigslist now for places.

I think the environment Im looking for is city life. Pedestrian. Someplace decent and pretty safe. I like being outside and being around town. I dont need to be close to the beach or anything, just a busy environment and not in a rural area

zigx · 05-07-2006, 05:12 PM

where are you moving from?

I stayed in City Heights when I first moved here. I wouldn't exactly recommend it to anyone for living, maybe just a quick stop like I did. It isn't a very nice area.

From what you seem to be looking for, I think Hillcrest would be a great place to start. Its a busy area, some great food, tons of shops... if you're into barbecue, check out Phil's Barbecue, you'll love it.

Well, I was 18 at the time, so yes my life has changed a great deal. Partially from moving to "the big city", partially from growing older, and partially from having moderate success. San Diego is a great city to live in, the SoCal area can support just about any interest or hobby you may have. Oceans, mountains, deserts... all within a few short hours.

colpanic · 05-07-2006, 06:20 PM

Downtown is cool if you don't mind noise. There are a lot of people in adult who live downtown too. I live in the Gaslamp, it's good to be able to walk to everything, if you can handle the noise.

(plus hot girls dressed up)

Elixir · 05-10-2006, 02:43 PM

Downtown is the best place for fun...

sd is a great place to live. i live in university heights. if i was you, unless you wanna be around lots of surfers, college kids and rowdy shit, stay away from pb and mission beach areas... the neighborhoods near downtown are nice- golden, hill, south park,

hillcrest is the gay area, not that there is anything wrong with that.

sd is a great place to live, you won't be let down
