Bright & Updated Mid-Century Home Near SDSU

Description

This mid-century modern home offers space, character, and a thoughtfully designed layout in a quiet residential setting 1 mile from San Diego State University. With its clean lines, natural light, and sense of openness, the home reflects a design style that feels both functional and quietly distinctive. We are looking for tenants who will feel at home here—people who appreciate architectural detail, enjoy a calm and well-kept environment, and take pride in caring for the space they live in. The home reflects classic mid-century design, with an open layout and a natural flow between rooms. It includes a mix of original features and practical updates--including vintage pink tile from the 1960s in one bathroom! There is an exceptional amount of storage throughout, with large closets, built-in dressers in two bedrooms, a cedar-lined closet, and generous cupboard space. The layout includes large bedrooms, a formal living room, and a spacious family room just off the kitchen, complete with pocket doors and an original stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace. New full size washer and dryer are in a designated utility room right off the kitchen. The property is located on a quiet residential street just off a larger, more active corridor. The immediate block feels calm and tucked away, while the surrounding area has a more urban, lived-in character. It may not feel polished in every direction, but it is a well-established and generally safe neighborhood with a mix of long-standing homes, local businesses, and everyday activity. This balance offers a quieter place to live while still being close to restaurants, transit, and major highways, with easy access to SDSU, UC San Diego, and the University of San Diego. We value a good fit with the neighborhood and are looking for tenants who are considerate of their surroundings—mindful of noise, respectful of neighbors, and aligned with the tone of a residential street. Rather than strict definitions of “responsibility,” we appreciate people who communicate clearly, take care of their space, and treat a home with respect. The property is managed by myself (I work in student affairs at USD) and my father, a retired teacher who lives locally. We are attentive and responsive, maintain the home carefully, and aim to create a straightforward and respectful rental experience with clear communication and prompt support when needed. We are especially glad to connect with faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students from local universities who are looking for a comfortable, well-kept home close to campus. If this sounds like a good fit, we welcome you to reach out.
