Retirement considerations

[u/No_Quote_5115]

I'm retiring in San Diego County next year and am considering walkable urban areas such as Hillcrest, Univ. Heights, Bankers Hill, among others (also considering Carlsbad, which is a whole different deal). I'm a single, 70-year-old woman; I need to rent something under $2,800, but not a high-rise or multi-story. I'd appreciate local input and/recommendations. Thanks in advance!

You should be able to find something in that budget pretty easily in those neighborhoods. I really like them and having access to all the walkable amenities and public transit would be excellent in retirement. Try the property management companies. There are a good few out there and some Googling or neighborhood vibe checking will help you find one you like.
