Need advice for place in San Diego to move to next year, thank you!
Hello everyone! I am planning to move to San Diego in about a year from now, and I will have time to rent air BnB's in different areas over the next year before I finally decide, but it would be helpful to have some feedback from those who know the area!
Info about me: 30M, single, enjoys yoga, getting into salsa dancing, learning spanish, walking along the beach or just looking at the water from my apartment/house. I will be working mostly remotely, and income will be 400-500k/year.
I would love to live somewhere that is nicely kept, near water, has other 20's-30's young professionals that are health conscious and mindful. I don't tend to go to bars or drink much but do enjoy music festivals/dancing, going to restaurants, doing fun activities on or off the water, pickleball, yoga, etc. I just genuinely love the sun and being near water!
I have tended to live in places where there are mostly older people or families and would ideally like to be near more single people my age and have more organic social interaction. I feel like it's so hard to find a place with young single people that also is nice and not too gritty.
When looking at places it seems like North Pacific Beach may be a good spot, perhaps near Tourmaline beach?
Are North Park and South Park more downtowney/urban with a more grittier vibe? Since I'm not too into bars I'm not sure if those would be good spots but open to hearing more.
Banker's Hill/Hillcrest seem like they could be good but the idea of hearing airplanes over head and apparently a large unhoused population make me very wary and want to avoid it.
Any information would be greatly appreciated thank you!
