How We Categorize Buildings

Every category on this page is based on official city data from San Diego Code Enforcement, Get It Done 311 requests, and San Diego County Assessor records. We don't accept payments to feature buildings - our rankings are based purely on data.

  • Pest-Free: Buildings with zero pest-related violations on record
  • Safest: Buildings scoring 90+ on our safety metrics with minimal violations
  • Best Maintained: Buildings where issues are addressed quickly
  • New Construction: Buildings constructed in 2015 or later with modern amenities

San Diego Rental Market

San Diego does not have citywide rent control, but California's AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act) applies to most buildings built before 2005, capping annual rent increases at 5% plus local CPI (maximum 10%). San Diego offers a unique lifestyle with perfect weather, beach access, and a growing trolley system connecting downtown to the border and beyond.
