Overview
About Lakeside
Lakeside is in eastern San Diego and has a population of about 22,000 residents. It’s 20 miles east of central San Diego. Lakeside leans more rural than most other San Diego cities and has more single family detached homes and even some farms. You can still find a few newer housing developments throughout the area.
Lakeside is a great place if you like outdoor activities. There are multiple lakes, hiking trails, and parks. There are even a couple golf courses in the area! You’re in luck if you’re an equestrian; there are multiple farms, ranches, and dairies. They also host the 2nd largest Western Parade with the most equestrians in California! On top of that, they host two rodeos per year.
How much does Lakeside property management cost?
Every Lakeside property manager has their own fee structure. At Good Life Property Management, we offer house, condo, and 2–4 unit property management for an 8% monthly management fee. For multi-family properties, we build out a custom proposal.

Pros of Investing in Lakeside
Lakeside sits on the far east side of San Diego County is a semi-rural community that like nearly all of San Diego, still has a strong rental market. Renters here are drawn to the open space and seclusion while still having the option to drive down the road to Santee or El Cajon for shopping and entertainment. If you shop hard enough you can find huge lots for a decent price. With all of that additional space there could be nice opportunities to construct ADUs for more revenue from the property!
Cons of Investing in Lakeside
Due to the rural nature of Lakeside, rents are generally lower and don’t keep up with the home values very well (making for tough price-to-rent ratios). Many of the homes are mid-century built and may have deferred maintenance to account for such as foundation work and roofs. The BANG energy drink epidemic has hit Lakeside hard, with an average daily consumption rate by residents of 2.8/day (compared to the national average of 0.06/day!).
What to Avoid in Lakeside Neighborhoods
When choosing where to buy your investment property, you should be on the lookout for a few things. These things can be a red flag for the kind of area you want to avoid.
- Trash in the front or backyard
- Vandalism nearby (graffiti, damaged property, etc.)
- Multiple vacant homes close by
- Poor street light; street feels unsafe
- Backs up or is close to a major highway or freeway
- Foundation issues
