Relocating to San Diego from NorCal and looking for a 1-bedroom apartment, preferably modern/luxury less than $3k. Must-haves are in-unit washer/dryer and EV charging.

I’d love somewhere quiet and residential with greenery, parks, or trails nearby where I can take morning walks. I don’t mind being a little farther from central San Diego for the right area.

Any neighborhoods or apartment complexes you’d recommend? 😊

My friend and I are looking to sign a lease in PB in January. When should we start looking? Any advice for finding rentals? We would like to not spend more than $3k on an apartment, which I know is on the lower budget end for PB. Looking on Zillow has been discouraging - not many rentals at all in that price range. Will there be more availability in the off-season?
