Overview

About South Park

South Park is a great neighborhood to own rental property. Its architecturally significant homes (mostly Craftsman and Spanish style), tree-line streets, and thriving business districts are attractive to tenants and homeowners alike. Located adjacent to San Diego’s Balboa Park, many homes in South Park are walking or biking distance to much of what Balboa Park has to offer. South Park also puts on the very popular quarterly South Park Walkabouts, where attendees can take a free trolley ride around the neighborhood and sample the various businesses there. 

If you are a current resident or looking to visit, stop in to Kindred, contemporary vegan dining and drinks. If you need a meeting place or an espresso pick me up, Cafe Madeleine has what you need. If you are new to the area, or looking to buy property, attend the old house fair to visit historical homes, with a walking and trolley tour, Festival Street fair, music, food, art, local shops and more. South Park is a great place to live and with its vintage row and contemporary home stores, you can turn your home into whatever decor fits your style.

Neighborhood by Price

As evidenced by the map below, the darker areas are the more expensive areas to purchase a home and the lighter areas are cheaper. This isn’t surprising, as the neighborhoods close to Balboa Park and North Park tend to be very popular among people in their 20s and 30s and families.

Marketing

How we market your South Park property

When our property management company markets your South Park property, we use the most popular online platforms. In other words, we create listings on websites such as Zillow, Trulia, Hot pads, and more to allow potential renters to easily find your property. We showcase extensive information about your property, including images, amenities, price, and more.

How we help you find the perfect rent price

Our property management company assists you in determining the best rental price for your property by conducting a thorough market analysis. This includes investigating comparable properties in the area, examining current rental market conditions, and taking into account factors such as your property’s location, size, and condition. Based on this analysis, we will recommend a competitive rental price that will assist you in attracting the right tenants for your property.

Furthermore, our property management company will monitor the rental market and adjust the price as needed to ensure that your property remains competitive and generates the desired rental income.

Pros of Investing in South Park

South Park is a popular rental neighborhood due to its proximity to Downtown/North Park/Balboa Park.  Depending on which neighborhood you’re in, you can find properties that pencil out nicely for cash flow, in the path of progress, and will likely see appreciation in decades to come.

Cons of Investing in South Park

You’ll need to be careful as each neighborhood and even blocks are vastly different classes of properties. There are 5 distinct zones separated by major highways: South Park, Golden Hill, Sherman Heights, Mt. Hope, and Ridgeview. 

What to Avoid in South Park 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
