Why Italy
Military Family relocating from italy to san diego - rental recommendations?
hi - we're a family of 4 (me, hubby (E-5), a toddler and a grade-schooler) + two cats. we've been spoiled rotten living in base housing in italy and are a bit leery of jumping back into the 'real world' of rent and utilities when we PCS next year. are there any military families who can offer suggestions on affordable apartments? is the housing allowance really sufficient? what areas of san diego are most family-friendly? we are in our early 30's, quiet and conservative...it's so scary relocating because you don't know where all of the nice, safe places are! this is a neat service from yahoo, 'cause i'd like to hear real opinions, and not just 'glossy brochure' type answers! thanks :)

- This is the online classified for the San Diego Union Tribune. This may be a start to help you get some idea of rental rates. There are some area of San Diego that have mad rental rates but other are more reasonable. Don't be discouraged by rates in La Jolla, just keep looking. There are many cities in the County of San Diego so don't just look for the city to be named "San Diego". But some cities that are less expensive than others are La Mesa, Chula Vista, National City, Lemon Grove, and El Cajon. Many apartments include utilities. San Diego is generally a friendly city and we are no stranger to military families. All areas have their issues with people we would rather not have to deal with but its a part of plain living. I'm not yahoo answer savy so you might have to copy and paste the address. http://classifieds2.signonsandiego.com/allads?b_start:int=25&SearchableText=rentals Hope this helps.
