Overview
About Santee
Santee is a town in east San Diego with a population of roughly 58,000. It sits between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains of the Cleveland National forest. While it is considered East San Diego, it’s still only 18 miles from the beach!
Santee is home to San Diego’s main drive-in movie theater, a perfect spot for family move night or date night. Mission Trails regional park is close by. This park provides many trails with beautiful views. Santee is equal parts residential and commercial and has plenty of restaurant options, from Mexican to Thai to American. Be sure to check out one of the awesome breweries in the area, too!
There are many freeway intersections that go through Santee, making it easy to get anywhere within the county. The MTS trolley system also services here.
How much does Santee property management cost?
Every Santee 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, with a reduced rate of 7% for properties renting over $6,000 per month. For multi-family properties (5–15 units), we offer a 6% monthly management fee. In addition to the monthly management fee, we charge a leasing fee equal to 25% of one month’s rent, a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.

Pros of Investing in Santee
Santee is an East County gem with more affordable price points than San Diego proper. It is only a 25-30 minute drive from all of the major attractions in the City plus the perks of more open space, proximity to outdoor activities, and new major commercial and retail developments. Renters tend to stay multiple years in Santee homes as well. Santee has seen an insane amount of value increase the last few years and this trend will likely only continue.
Cons of Investing in Santee
Of course, all the more attractive pricing has led to serious buyer competition and you can expect to bid very quickly and at or above asking price to secure an investment property in Santee.
What to Avoid in Santee 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
