Victorian architecture and brick-paved sidewalks … the Gaslamp Quarter and the coast … palm trees and balmy ocean breezes … stunning mountain views and historic sites … it’s no wonder San Diego is the nation’s eighth-largest city. If you want to live in the very heart of this large, dynamic city, find your apartment in Downtown San Diego!
Downtown San Diego contains the central business district, or the Core District, as well as East Village, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Cortez Hill, Columbia, Seaport Village, Marina, and Little Italy. The problem won’t be finding San Diego apartments – it will be deciding in which fantastic district to live. The historic Gaslamp Quarter is a Historic District dating back to 1867. The nearly 100 Victorian buildings contain a variety of shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. If you are looking for a trendy loft in a historic warehouse, head to East village, San Diego’s largest downtown neighborhood.
If you love festivals, art galleries, bakeries, and farmers markets, try looking in Little Italy. This hilly area is also well-known for its festivals and Italian restaurants, making it a terrific choice for those who enjoy a social lifestyle. As pedestrian-friendly as it is beautiful, Seaport Village is a shopping and dining area with a variety of art galleries, shops, and restaurants. It was built over the Punta de los Muertos (Point of the Dead) – in 1782, Spanish explorers buried those who had died of scurvy here.

Gentrification is so terrible in these parts. I continuously see houses on the market becoming more and more expensive which obviously leads to the buying of houses by only richer people. However it's very clean... I guess if you're looking for a less diverse neighborhood, this is it.

The South End is the best of Boston's neighbourhoods. The beautiful rows of brownstones are drenched in a rich and diverse history, as are the people. It is also a hub for great food and artisanal shops.

In my time living in south end I've experienced shooting and consistent loud arguments at night. I like how beautiful the neighborhood looks in the fall when all the leaves fall. I do not like the shootings that have happened in the last year.
