I wanted to know if anyone on the boards knows any towns near San Diego that have apartments for cheaper than San Diego and neighborhoods that are nice. I just accepted an offer of employment from the US Border Patrol and need to find a 2 bedroom apartment near San Diego. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

I know lots of places, but what is your budget?

 

well i def. dont want to spend over bout 1300 for a 2 bed

 

San Diego is a big place. Where will you be stationed?

 

^ exactly -- it takes an hour without traffic to get from Oceanside to San Ysidro, so ya needs to let us know where you're gonna be working, g

 

1300 for a 2 bedroom in a good area, IMPOSSIBLE...

there is some new development in the San yasido area, and I would think it would be cheap than San Diego's average.

 

not the case at all. I spent 1350 for a townhouse in Rancho San Diego, one of the nicest and safest areas around.

 

Ranch San Diego ? you got to to be kidding me . Skyline or barrio logan , hands down clearly the best neighborhood in San Diego!

 

you must have landed a awesome deal...

looking at your zip, you live in San Carlos. I love that area. are you kinda of navajo away from the 125?

 

I now live in san carlos. I moved to a house from Rancho San Diego.

1350 was average in that area for townhouses.


yeah, I live off cowles mountain blvd now.

 

I'm guessing he needs an apt near the border, so maybe National City. I'm not sure about Chula Vista or surrounding areas as I have never really been down there for a decent period of time.

 

Pretend to be an Indian....we voted to give them a $#!+ load of money. Get a job on a reservation and find an apartment and it'll cost you way less than being a real American.

(How'd I do? Was I gnarley enough)

 

depends on what border point he is assigned at.

 

Damn.. 1350 for a townhouse? I need to find me one of those.. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in la jolla (I need to be by ucsd) and it costs 1600.

 

ok i believe it is called brown field or brownville...something with brown in it...i dont know too many details yet as I am awaiting my packet explaining everything but i was told this info over the phone. Also, I think we can swing it with a large 1 bedroom. Maybe that will help with the prices, since the baby doesnt need her room yet. thanks fellas

 

it will be a difference of like 200-300 for that two bedroom.

 

Brown Field is down south. So you should look at areas from the I-8 (interstate) and south.

 

is there an actual city that is called brown field? or should i look by like imperial beach

 

Brown Field is the name of the airport down where you'll be stationed. Imperial Beach would be fine.
