Average rent was $1,743 a month in San Diego County at the start of September, increasing 8.4 percent in a year, said MarketPointe Realty Advisors in a report released Thursday.
Rent increased 7.7 percent from March ...

Valone blamed rising prices on California environmental laws, lack of political leadership and the hesitancy of city and county government to approve new housing.
In early September, the average rent for a studio was $1,383; $1,533 for a one-bedroom; $1,821 for a two-bedroom; $2,257 for a three-bedroom; and $3,043 for a four-bedroom.
The highest rent in the county is on the coast in North County, where the average rent runs $2,152 a month. The cheapest is in East County, at $1,422 a month, but units can be hard to find.

Our rent was $900, if I remember correctly, in Rancho Bernado. It was nice, but too small.
One thing one needs to consider, unless you are professional, like my wife, wages have stagnated for others like myself.
