You don't get the nickname 'America's Finest City' without being somewhat special and worth visiting. San Diego is blessed with that first impression, understandably making both furnished housing and furnished rentals incredibly popular.
Making your trip to San Diego successful depends on the quality of the accommodation you stay in. No business travel plan to the Californian city is complete without luxury apartments in San Diego. Unlike bog-standard hotels or B&Bs, even short term Situ serviced apartments in San Diego allow guests to feel like they are staying in their very own 'home away from home'.
This is possible thanks to guaranteed facilities and amenities which enable a self-catered lifestyle, such as a fully equipped kitchen, on-site washing machines, allocated parking spaces, spacious living areas and free Wi-Fi. Travel bookers don't need to expect just this from their corporate apartment in San Diego either, as they can request to have added amenities such as a garden, a balcony, en-suite bathrooms or on-site gyms and restaurants.
All in all, the options are endless, and they are based across a wide range of locations across the city. Corporates can pick and choose from our various short term rentals and corporate housing in San Diego, based on whether they want to be right at the heart of the city centre, or on the outskirts away from the hustle and bustle.
San Diego is located in California, right in the bottom left corner of the state, along the North Pacific coast. The city is adjacent to the Mexico border, with the city centre located just a forty-minute drive from Tijuana.
So, to clarify, to the south of San Diego is the Mexican border, to the west is the North Pacific ocean coastline, around 120 miles north is Los Angeles and to the west are Phoenix and Tucson. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect about San Diego's location is its coastline, stretching 70 miles and blessed with tourist-favourites beaches.
The city has the second and eighth-largest population in California and the United States respectively. The approximate 1.5 million population occupy a landmass that covers over 800 square miles. However, it is not just that locals that flood the area, as San Diego welcomes around 35 million people every year from across the US and overseas, for business reasons. Reaching the city from abroad is facilitated by the San Diego International Airport, which sees over nine million passengers pass through its door each year.
Wherever you need to be in the city, whether it's right at the heart of the area, or on the outskirts, or even near a particular building or transport facility, we have a range of corporate apartments in San Diego on hand ready to cater to your business plans.
San Diego's economy may not be the largest and most extravagant, but it is supportive of the locals and the business climate, making the city a worthy place to work. The main sectors that the economy relies on are tourism, manufacturing, military, research and international trade.
International trade and military sectors are greatly supported by the San Diego port, which is home to the world's largest naval fleet and an important base for the US Navy. There's also no getting away from how attractive San Diego is as a tourist hotspot, thanks to its wonderful beaches and major attractions such as the Zoo, the Safari and Sea World.
However, the question is rather; what is it that makes corporates want to work or start a business in San Diego? Well according to Forbes magazine, San Diego has been the best place to launch a start-up in the US. There are numerous reasons for this. The quality of life in San Diego is impressive, the economy is supportive, its location off the coast is favourable, and the diverse population is very welcoming of new business ventures.
Off the back of all of that, the City of San Diego is also very supportive of all business, small or large, new or old. There are various sub-organisations, which each offer their own type of support and incentives, meaning all and all, both startups and the largest multinational companies in the region can expect to be backed and encouraged to drive good business.
To learn more about the city's economy and how your company or smaller business plans could be supported, visit the San Diego.gov website. For a range of corporate housing in San Diego, get in touch with Situ.
San Diego is widely accepted as one of the best places to visit in California. Up and coming corporates start new ventures here, as they know the great array of restaurants, shops, cafés, bars and entertainment venues.
Moreover, Thrillist believes there's no other place in America that has a better quality of life, citing the great weather, the beaches, the food and everything there is to do and see. What they fail to mention though, is that general living costs do exceed the national average - but for anyone wanting to live and work in the prime location, they should expect a cost!
There's plenty to see and do in 'America's Finest City' too. Guests in luxury apartments in San Diego could potentially be within walking distance of some incredible attractions. Animal lovers will certainly be kept occupied, with the likes of SeaWorld San Diego, the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park all acting as a home for a huge variety of different species.
Much more tame wildlife can be seen at other natural sites such as Balboa Park and the Torrey Pines State Reserve. The lovely open areas and quiet walking paths are perfect for corporates and their families who want to take time to switch off and enjoy the great outdoors. No one can forget the beaches either, such as La Jolla, Coronado, Flat Rock and Pacific Beach. Each has its own distinctive qualities, but are also exactly what everyone would want from a beautiful beach.
History enthusiasts are in luck as well. The Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, the Air & Space Museum, the Maritime Museum, the Whaley House Museum, the USS Midway Museum and many more collectively cover every inch of local history, meaning visitors can learn everything there is to know about the city's past. Ultimately, we couldn’t possibly explain everything there is to see and do in the city, so be sure to check it all out for yourself by staying in an extended stay, fully furnished apartment in San Diego.
Easily the main source of flights in and out of the city is the San Diego International Airport. It is based along the harbour and just a ten-minute drive from the San Diego Zoo. In terms of international travel, around 300,000 travellers from overseas locations use this airport every year.
Strong transport networks connect this airport comprehensively with the city. The 992 bus route stops at each terminal every 15-30 minutes, depending on whether it’s a weekday or on the weekend. There's also a light-rail Trolley service that reaches each terminal, whilst Amtrack and COASTER trains enable travel from the airport to as far as Los Angeles. You can choose from a selection of luxury apartments in San Diego and pick a place to stay based on how close you'd like to be to the airport.
Trolleys are extremely important to both the locals and expats visiting the city. The iconic 'Red Trolley' (which is a tram to Europeans!) enables travel all over the region, from the city centre, right through to downtown San Diego. There are three lines (Blue, Orange & Green) that stop at 53 different stations in total.
You can expect a trolley to run every 15 minutes or so. The average price for a trolley is around $5 for a one-way ticket.
Also part of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System are bus services. Buses are perhaps the most economical mode of transport, and their connections to other transport types make them a vital aspect of getting around in the city. Almost 300,000 people ride on buses in San Diego every day.
To find out more about bus routes, operators, and timetables, be sure to visit the SDMTS website at sdmts.com. Routes run throughout the city, and we have various serviced apartments in San Diego which are ideally located near bus stops and stations.
