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.
How much does South Park property management cost?
Every South Park property manager has their own fee structure. However, we offer house, condo, and/or 2-4 units property management for an 8% monthly management fee. Alternatively, we provide multi-family (5-15 units) property management for a 6% monthly management fee. In addition to monthly management fees, we charge a leasing fee (which is 25% of one month’s rent), a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.
For Non-California residents, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) requires property managers to withhold a percentage of income from property owners who live out of state as a pre-tax. payment. Our charge is $50/quarter, which covers submitting these payments on your behalf and your annual tax forms. We ensure compliance and timely filings so you can avoid penalties and focus on what matters most.
