Overview

About Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach, often referred to as OB for short, is one of the most culturally distinct communities in San Diego County. From the Ocean Beach drum circles to the fire dancers and spinners, you’ll be hard pressed to find another community with such traditions and culture. The locals in Ocean Beach enjoy their unofficial events so much that they even defied public health policies during the 2020 pandemic.

Ocean Beach, located on the coast of San Diego, California, is known for its laid-back, hippie beach vibe. This area is just south of Mission Beach and directly north of Point Loma.

The area is home to the popular Ocean Beach pier, OB dog beach, and unique independent shops and restaurants. There are almost no chain stores in the area, which is part of its appeal. Ocean Beach has become a popular attraction for hippies and those searching for a more laid-back lifestyle.

Even though the neighborhood is somewhat secluded and hidden from regular tourist destinations, it is just a 15-minute drive from the San Diego airport and downtown San Diego.

Why owning rental property in Ocean Beach is a good investment

Ocean Beach’s strong sense of community and fun environment make it a highly sought-after place to live. From the unique restaurants and shops to the community gatherings for music and fire dancing, you’ll be hard pressed to find another neighborhood with such a distinct culture and sense of community in San Diego, California.

Of the 13,507 occupied housing units in Ocean Beach, 62.88% are renter-occupied. Therefore, you can expect a high demand for rental property in this area. By investing in rental property, you can gain consistent rental income. With Ocean Beach’s proximity to the beach and its central location to downtown and the airport, property owners can generally get higher rental rates than the rest of San Diego County. Overtime, San Diego’s generous property appreciation trends will make Ocean Beach real estate a good investment.

With a qualified and reputable property manager, like Good Life Property Management, you can also gain the benefits of an investment property without the hassle and headache of managing tenants. We take care of tenant screening, property inspections, maintenance, and more. Continue reading to learn more about our offerings.

Testimonials

I just went through the process of turning over my condo unit and leasing it out. Good Life has done a bang-up job. Communication has been frequent and consistent. The owner's portal allows me to access documents, statements, and payments online. The listing was well-written with good pictures. And turnover work was done quickly and with a good amount of hand-holding, as this was the first time I've turned over the unit to make it a rental. I would recommend this service to anyone.

Adam and Brent were amazing from start to finish. This was my first time renting a property and they made it extremely easy, especially for me and my wife. Their staff is friendly and will help you with any questions that you comes up with because they are very knowledgeable on renting properties. I never felt pressured in any way and they walked me through every step of the way. They have my strongest recommendation for anyone trying to lease their property. Thanks again guys this was the least I can do.

I own two rental homes. One is managed by Good Life, the other by someone else. Good Life has exceeded all expectations Picture of Michael Peteroyand has pleased me every step of the way. The other company, just a series of disappointments. As soon as possible I'll have Good Life managing both places!

The Goodlife Property Management, Inc. team proved excellent knowledge, expertise and timely in every facet of management. I gained confidence that answers, solutions, and record keeping would be supplied as needed consistently and comprehensively by Goodlife. I highly recommend them as a conscientious and skillful management team.

Been working with the GoodLife team for a little over a year. Very responsive, transparent, and helpful team. Adam, Natalia, Bryce, and Grace have all been awesome to work with and would recommend them to anyone. Well worth it knowing these guys have every detail taken care of, but are also open to my ideas and suggestions.

I utilized GLP for my rental property management for two years and then used their agent to sale my rental. Every step of the way GLP went beyond anything I have experienced with either HOA's as a renter or the two other rental agencies I've used for my other rental properties. What a great company to do business with, they have professionalism embedded in every layer of their organization. If I'm ever in the SD real estate market again, I'll certainly be calling them back. Thanks for the stellar experience!

"They have been really professional and get things done quickly. It's always been easy to reach them and I would definitely recommend their services to everyone."
