We are living in the Silver Strand housing and LOVE it!! Its really beautiful, in Coronado, and is in between the bay and the ocean...there is a bike path right here, and is right next to the state park...perfect for people like us that love outdoorsy stuff...we take our kayaks out on the bay, go running, biking, all right here!

Hello,
We passed miramar once but I have resource that can tell me where good housing is. I bet your kids are excited! Like I've said before, it's pretty much summer every day!

Look at Poway, lots of military families there.
Base housing is nice if you can get in.
And see my reply further down, Clairemont and places just south of Miramar are heavily military too. There will be a commute, there is always a commute.

Hello everyone! We just got orders to PCS tp San Diego the 1st week of March and even though I've been doing some research in SD I'm a little nervous. He will be stationed in Coronado so I was wondering if anyone can help with places to live. I dont want to do military housing and I'm a nurse currently looking for a job :P so I would like maybe something where we both dont have to commute so badly. BTW I added both FB groups thank you so much!!! I've been here in Pensacola about a year and just this months I started meeting nice girls so trust me its hard and I think we all go through it.

i'm a nurse too! Let me know if you find some good places!!

My husband was on North Island (same thing as Coronado). We lived in Birdland, up by Linda Vista and Serra Mesa. The military housing is privatized and quite nice. If pets are the problem for military housing, you'll have trouble renting in SD, hard to find places that take dogs unless you ARE going to commute from places like El Cajon. You won't find a place on Coronado itself, that island is prime tourist rentals. Look further south to Silver Strand or Imperial Beach (although IB can be sketchy). Also pricey, but not impossible. There's Chula Vista, Mission Hills, Clairemont, Linda Vista, and well, you can see the maps. Renting by the University is not advised, they jack up the prices. Almost 100% you will commute, SD is a commuting town.
My husband rode his Harley to commute, saved us a ton of money on gas and made parking much less of an issue at home (had a condo with a garage, unusual).
