How much does it cost to live in San Diego?

Travel Tips
That really depends on what part of San Diego you live in. In general, San Diego County is one of the most expensive places in America to live in.

As a general rule, the closer to the coast you live, the higher the cost of living.

Probably the cheapest places to live in the area that are still a reasonable commute (30-45 minutes) from Downtown San Diego are in the "East County" - Santee, El Cajon, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley.

There are a few places in the County, such as Ramona and Alpine, that are a little further away from SD, but you can find a nice place to live for a reasonable amount of money (comparable prices to the East County cities, but much nicer areas to live in).

well actually i have no idea about that but Will iask my Friends about it , thanks for your question.
To damn much. I saw in the news a few weeks ago that the average 1br cost 1000 per month, 2br 1300 mth and 3 br 1600 mth. Gas is always between 3.10-3.50. Utilities are pretty fair priced. And mim wage is only 8.50 so you do the math. 40hrs per week at min wage gets you 1360 per month before taxes, and the average 1br is 1000 leaving you with 360 for other bills, food, gas, etc. Are you thinking of moving?
