Sometimes referred to as the “Plymouth Rock of the West”, San Diego was first visited by a Spaniard, Juan Cabrillo, in 1542. Already home to Native Americans, it was not occupied by Spain until 1769. Today, San Diego teems with history. Historical societies and associations abound, such as the Committee of One Hundred, dedicated to the preservation of Spanish architecture in Balboa Park, and the Chinese Historical Society of San Diego and Baja California.
Some of San Diego’s history is on the tarnished side. The Gaslamp Quarter was originally the site of bordellos that catered to sailors on shore leave. Later, it became a shabby x-rated area that persisted until the mid-70s, when the Gaslamp Quarter Association was formed to preserve historic buildings and unite property owners. Today, the renovated area features restored buildings which house restaurants, boutiques, galleries, theaters and nightclubs.
San Diego, ironically thirsty for drinking water, is surrounded by the ocean and much of its outdoor recreational activities are water-oriented, with no less than a dozen beaches available for fun in the sun.

San Diego is an ideal place to live with amble apartments.
