Relocation to San Diego

Carlsbad, CA–San Diego may not top the list as a destination for those moving 50 miles or more, but U-Haul reports that San Diego ranks #11 nationally and is the second most popular California destination. Los Angeles ranks #3, while Sacramento ranks #14, followed by San Francisco (18), Fullerton (30), Costa Mesa (31), San Jose (33), Long Beach (45), Fresno (46) and Santa Monica (50).

The study reflects moves made from January through December, 2008.

In studying the list below, it is interesting to note that California cities dominate U-Haul’s list of top destination cities, with a strong 20 percent share and 10 top cities. Texas ranks a distant second with 4 cities, while Florida and New York claim 3 each.

Why move to San Diego? Could be San Diego real estate bargains. Might be our great beaches and climate–or it might be all of these reasons.

    It makes sense that California would dominate the list. If it were a country it would be the 35 largest in terms of economy. Mix in beautiful weather and I'm renting a uhaul.

    I was suprised to see bronx NY on the list. I'd take CA anytime over the Bronx.
