San Diego, otherwise known as America's Finest City, basks in what is considered to be our country's most idyllic climate.
San Diego is the second largest city in California and enjoys many miles of dazzling coastline with world class beaches amid cliffs and coves dotted with dramatic sea side mansions. With a population of over 1.3 million, the city of San Diego has a vibrant and historic downtown with world class restaurants, a huge bayside convention center, a new baseball stadium and a wealth of exciting urban living opportunities.
The world famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park with its museums and attractions, the highly acclaimed Old Globe Theater, the La Jolla Playhouse, the Opera and Symphony are just a few of the many reasons people love living here.
With a well diversified economic base, San Diego excels in the fields of Biotechnology, Science and Medicine, Communications and Government Military Installations. From the beaches to the inland mountains, San Diego offers a wealth of year round recreational activities including golf, surfing, cycling, marathon racing, horse racing, Polo, and Para sailing.
If you can name it, San Diego most likely has it in abundance.
Our current real estate market is beginning to show signs of stabilization despite what you might be reading in the local papers. Prices have certainly dropped but when you evaluate what San Diegans can expect living here, it won’t be long before the prices begin to move up again. There is a reason why things are a bit more expensive here, nearly everyone that comes here would like to move to Americas finest city. It’s the old paradigm of ‘Supply and Demand’.
When you really think about the many treasures and the near perfect year around weather, I doubt that many who visit San Diego would not be impressed that there is something here for just about anyone. Perhaps that would be better said and that there is something here for everyone.
The quality of life itself, our schools, our 50 different communities within the city, our Agriculture, Biotechnology, in a county with a total of 18 wonderful cities, it’s Medical and Drug research, Marine Biology and Research,Communications Technology, Manufacturing, Tourism, Major League Sports,fine restaurants with world wide reputations, San Diego has it all. And just in case I forgot something, not to worry, it is probably here as well.
Over the last 20 months here on ActiveRain, I have written much about San Diego. I thought it might be nice to collect many of my photos and share them here with you as a collection of things to see and do In San Diego. I hope through these photos that you will want to know San Diego even better and hopefully be able to visit our amazing city one day. Photos can only capture the variety of things you can see here but what I can’t show in photos is that San Diego has a heart and it calls itself home to some of the nicest people on the planet.
Once this post is launched, I will come back periodically and keep adding in more of the hundreds of photos I collect on this wonderful city that I call home.
If ever you have a desire to move to San Diego, I suggest you consider it sooner rather than later. If you wait, the housing costs will most assuredly be more than they are at todays amazing value. Come and get your own piece of one of the finest cities in America and then you as well can call San Diego, home. You will be glad you did.
BTW, If you need a good REALTOR, I just happen to know one of the best!

William, I lived in San Diego for a short time back in the late 70s. I remember it being very beautiful. I lived in Oceonside and also lived for a while right across from Balboa park. You do live in a great place!!!
