      City - San Diego

      There are so many things about San Diego that put a smile on residents’ faces. Enviable year-round warm temperatures, beautiful Pacific Coast beaches, endless entertainment, and more attract renters each year. This coastal city provides opportunities for amazing sea activities, such as whale watching, sailing, and snorkeling. San Diego’s white sand beaches with spacious, lush parks and rugged mountain peaks are great for hiking and biking. Beachside Belmont Park features an old-school wooden roller coaster, vintage games and more. After you’ve moved into your new rental, visit Mission Trails Regional Park, a 7,220 acre natural area with a lake and over 60 miles of trails. The wonders of San Diego go far beyond its enchanting landscapes. This bustling city is home to several historic sites, world-class shopping and dining, and a vibrant nightlife. San Diego is also home to the University of California San Diego campus and Marine base Miramar.
