Are You Looking for Rentals in Carlsbad and North County San Diego?
I often get emails and calls from folks who are seeking rentals in the Carlsbad real estate market or other nearby communities in North San Diego County.
Some folks are long-term renters, or are moving here and want to rent before they buy to get to know the area.
Here are the resources that I have found most useful for renters in our area - please feel free to share anything else that has worked for you.
Driving around
Pretty inefficient but one way to see the areas that you like. Likely a limited number of rentals found this way.
Google Search
You can simply use Google to search for area rentals, say "homes for rent in Carlsbad."
Craigslist
This amazing website gets the bulk of the rental listings as it's free and landlords don't need to pay an agent to assist them. Watch for scams - they are common. Many renters I have talked with have expressed frustration with the limited number of landlords who actually return calls, and many rentals seem outdated.
MLS
You can contact me to obtain a list of rentals that meet your criteria - price range, area, detached house vs. condo (know that renting a condo or townhome in many HOAs will restrict dogs - if you have 2 this can be a problem). Pet owners and smokers will find limitations on rentals that allow smoking.
The North County Times
A great local weekly newspaper with lots of information on what is going on in the North San Diego County area. The paper is free and you will find it all over the area. But you can access the North County Time rental classifiedson-line too
The Coast News
Another terrific local paper that is good to know about, with all sorts of local happenings. Like the North County Times, it's a free weekly paper available all over the area. You can peruse the homes and condos for rent on the Coast News website- there are a limited number of rentals listed from what I have seen
The San Diego Union Tribune
This the main daily subscription news paper that lists a fair number of rentals all over San Diego County. You can look at area rentals for free at Sign On San Diego.
Vacation Rentals
Our area is popular for vacations - summer, racing season, late December/New Years. If you are seeking vacation rentals, try Cyber Rentals. You will also find these on Craigslist and via Google searches.
