"Cheap" apartment/house in Southern California?

[Cali_Army_Guy]

MIGHT be moving to Southern California. Open to any area south of the grape vine really. But ideally I would like the San Diego area. Is there anywhere down there where I can get a 2-3 bedroom for $1500 or so a month and not live in the ghetto?

All I can do is look on Craigslist, Zillow, etc. just wondering if anyone knew of anything or maybe any local property management places that have rentals. I don't mind going down there for a weekend to look at stuff. Just don't want to be driving around aimlessly.

Southern California is a pretty big area LOL
you'll need to be more specific.
Most places have good and bad areas, so if you can pin it down that would help.

I know I know. I was born down there and have visited a lot so I kind of know the areas. Like I said I'm open to pretty much anywhere as long as it's a nice area and not $3000 a month like 90% of the stuff down there. I don't want to worry about my bug getting stolen on the street. I want my kids to go to a good school. Just stuff like that.

Rents are outrageous in the L.A. and S.D. areas. The further from city centers you get the less expensive, but even the far 'burbs are insane. You may be lucky to find a 1 BR for $1500 in a nice area. If you want secured parking and 2-3 BR then I'm afraid you are looking at $2K or more. You might find an exception, and maybe a multi-family house rental could work if you trust the other folks... kids make that harder. Good luck, though!

Probably looking at the IE at this point. Rentals, especially "cheap" rentals, are getting pretty hard to find unless you plan on a commute. Good luck with your search--seriously.

Are you working or retired? That may limit you geographically and maybe we can advise more specifically.

I just rented one of my apartments in the IE (Riverside) 3 bed 1 bath no garage, built in 1960. Its decent inside new cabinets, granite on the counter tops, new paint and carpet. It has A/C. It is an "ok" neighborhood near the redevelopment area by La Sierra College. I advertised it for $1250/mo plus $1500 security deposit. I had at least 100 people inquire about it in the first 4-5 days. It went quick at $1250.

The San Clemente/ Dana Point area is quite nice. My son has a two BR, two bath, tiny garage bungalow that he rents out.
$3500-$4000/month.
I can't afford to visit.

Whats the matter with Modesto?

it has all the things most of the Southland has..traffic,crime, poor air quality and enough methamphetamine to last a lifetime...and the rent is cheap too..
