What Renters Like and Dislike
What Renters Like and Dislike About La Mesa
We are close to the freeway , so commuting isn't too bad . We have great restaurants near by and some pretty good bars .
The local transportation of busses and traffic of taxi and uber. The stores are located for various types of eateries as well
I love how there are all 3 schools grades 1-12 that are walkable in my neighborhood. I also love the fact that the neighborhood is a very quiet neighborhood at night.
THERE ARE A FEW BARS AND RESTURANTS WITH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT. EVERYTHING IS AT REACH WHETHER TAKING TRANSPORTSTION, GRABBING SOMETHING TO EATOR JUST DOING SOME SHOPPING. EVERYTHING IS CONVIENTLY AT YOUR REACH
In my neighborhood i like to see that everything is clean it is something unique my local favorite are the restaurants there are many and from different countries
It's easy to access stores, malls, the beach, mountains, the zoo, and many other public locations, such as parks and museums.

All About
Living in La Mesa, CA
The city of La Mesa remains committed to serving local apartment residents, providing a variety of popular events and amenities that keep the city unique from its San Diego-area neighbors.
La Mesa apartment renters take pride in their city's efforts to develop a beautiful and alluring community, and they enjoy the fruits of those efforts at a handful of venues. These include La Mesa's 14 parks, which offer trails for joggers and bikers, playing fields and ball courts, and children's playgrounds. The parks are linked by La Mesa's urban walking trails - a network of three separate paths encompassing nearly 10 miles in all and offering varying degrees of difficulty for runners and cyclists.
Apartment residents in La Mesa also frequently visit Lake Murray, a nearby reservoir that offers a great way to cool down during California's hot summers. Those renting apartments in La Mesa can take a refreshing dip into the lake's cool waters or simply lounge alongside the water and soak in the San Diego sun.
La Mesa offers a number of community events for apartment residents looking to get involved and interact with their neighbors. The city's farmer's market provides fresh produce and locally produced food, while an annual parade has been held each year on Flag Day since 1997. The city's annual car show thrills La Mesa apartment renters and visitors from around Southern California, while thousands turn out for the annual three-night Oktoberfest celebration.
