San Diego is often ranked as one of the best cities to live in, but it comes with challenges like high traffic, a steep cost of living, high taxes, and visible homelessness in certain areas. While the city's beautiful weather and job opportunities in industries like healthcare and biotech are attractive, the lack of seasons and overcast periods like "June Gloom" may deter some. Housing costs are significant, with median home prices over $1 million and median rents around $3,100. Despite these drawbacks, San Diego's desirability remains high, and if you're considering a move, real estate professionals like Nick and his team are available to help make your transition seamless.
