For those that live in or have lived in San Diego, can anyone help w/ some recommendations for apartments? I'm trying to help someone close to me that took a job in Rancho Bernardo and just moved to SD. Preference would be in the Rancho Bernardo area (e.g. Poway, Escondido, etc...). Unfortunately, limited by a 1.3k ceiling as far as monthly rent goes.

Ideal features list would include:
1. Something in a decent, good area since they'll be living alone.
2. Garage parking.
3. In-unit washer & dryer.
4. Nearby shopping for necessities (e.g. groceries). "Nearby" constitutes, say, 10-15min drive.
4. $1.3k/mo max

That aside, what areas should one stay away from? Any particular apartments complexes or management companies to stay away from?

TIA
