Plan Ahead:

Most Real Estate and Financial experts agree that home buyers should always have their own Personal Buyer's Agent. Here is why-

The home search and home buying processes can be complex and stressful, which is why having a pro by your side can make all the difference. Buyer's Agents assist home buyers every step of the way. Unlike the Listing Agent who represents the seller, a Buyer's Agent protects the buyer's interests during the crucial negotiating and closing process. Their services are free and they can save you tons of time and money on the road to homeownership. Please read What Is a Buyer's Agent? A Trusted Guide Who'll Help You Find a Home).

Retirement Rentals

NOTE: We do not provide Retirement Rental leads,
but here are some ways to help you find senior rental information.

FOR SENIOR RETIREMENT RENTALS:

Here is a 5-step plan to help you search for Senior Retirement Rentals (We sincerely hope it is of some value to you):

Step 1:
Click-on >
San Diego Craigslist to get to the San Diego Craigslist webpage. To show only Senior Rentals; first make sure that the top row of boxes contains the words "San Diego > North SD County > Housing > apts/housing for rent." The "Search" box has a hand-held magnifier symbol. In the Search box, type “Senior" and the North County city where you want to live and "CA" (For example type in "Senior Oceanside, CA " or Senior and a different North County city and CA, possibly: San Marcos, Carlsbad, Fallbrook Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, Vista, etc.). Then hit the ENTER key. This should provide you with a list of rentals that are available in senior communities in that city.
If you are looking for a furnished rental, in the search box type the preferred city and "Furnished" or "Senior Furnished" (For example type "Carlsbad Furnished" or Carlsbad Senior Furnished").

Note: You may also "Post" an inquiry on Craigslist- Describe what you are looking for and ask if anyone has rentals available that meet your requirements.

Step 2:

Click-on > The Union Tribune Newspaper's Classified Ads.  :

1. Click on The Union Tribune name above and wait for the webpage to appear.

2. Click on FOR RENT.

3. Type in name of the city and state or the ZIP code of the location of interest to you.

4. Click on SEARCH and wait for all rentals to show up.

5. This may provide some San Diego or nearby city rentals but don't expect much in North Copunty.

If Steps 1 and 2 above don't locate a Senior Rental that meets your requirements, we suggest that you consider doing the following:

Step 3:

Click on >  After 55.com Senior Housing Guide.  Enter: Location and Housing Type.

For Senior Apartments also try Senior Apartment Guide . Enter: Location and click on the city that comes up on the left side of the page.

Step 4:
Click on>
 Senior Communities and scroll down to a Senior Community that interests you.

Click on that Senior Community then look for "MAP" and click on it (it is usually located in the "Its Great Location" section). The Oceana Senior Communities are slightly different than the other community web pages. For the Oceana communities, you can access a map by clicking-on the underlined Oceana community name such as "Original Oceana." In the upper left-hand corner of each map, you will find the address of the entrance to the Senior Community. Drive to and enter the community of interest. If possible, check at the gate or club house for rental information and then drive around looking at the available rentals and look for "For Rent" signs. Don't forget to look for signs posted in the windows of condos.

Note: If it is a guarded gated community, go to the guard house and tell the person there what you are looking for and ask permission to enter. If the gate is closed or there is no one available at a guard house, park and wait for a resident to open the gate and then tell them what you are looking for and ask for permission to follow them in. It should be noted that Mobile Home Parks where the residents rent the spaces do not allow owners to offer their homes for rent. Mobile Home Parks where the resident owns the land however may have some rentals available.

Step 5:

CHECK ALL-AGE AND SENIOR APARTMENT RENTALS:

1. Click on > Apartment Hunterz- Lists apartments for rent in North San Diego County.

2. Click on > Realtor.com/rentals and also Zillow.com/rent and type-in the City, Price Range and #Beds/Baths, etc.

3. Click on >  Furnished Apartment Guide. Enter: Location

4. Click on > Affordable Apartments in San Marcos, Affordable Senior Apartments in Carlsbad Vista and Escondido.

Step 6:

TEMPORARY RENTALS FOR ALL-AGES;  FURNISHED HOMES AND ROOMS:

1. Click on > AIRBNB. Enter location, time and number of guests.
