San Diego Property Management

San Diego Rental Market

Since 1987, Cal-Prop has set the standard for excellence in San Diego property management. With deep expertise and a personalized approach, we help tenants find the perfect rental that fits their needs, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience in one of California’s most competitive markets.

For Property Owners

Whether you own one unit or dozens, Cal-Prop’s time-tested tools and professional management enable you to operate your property like a real estate expert. Our goal is to ensure your property runs efficiently, allowing you the peace of mind and time to enjoy life.

Quick Turns with High Quality Tenants

Our proprietary tenant screening process, quick turn practices, and an all hands-on deck approach gives us an advantage to find, qualify, and close the best tenants at the highest rents the market will allow.

First-rate Customer Service

With a dedicated Vice President overseeing your property, you’ll have a single point of contact coordinating your entire team ensuring smooth operations, from leasing to repairs. While everything is online, we answer calls faster and more efficiently than any competitor.

Fast and Affordable Property Maintenance

We are pros at tackling routine and major issues with fast, cost effective results. For example, any mainline replacement is 75-80% of the cost of a typical plumbing contractor. Our in-house team aims to give you better pricing and faster service to minimize vacancy and turnover time while ensuring 100% resident satisfaction.

San Diego Rental Market

San Diego, the second-largest city in California and eighth in the U.S., is not only a prime destination for tourists but also a highly desirable place to live. With a population of nearly 1.3 million residents in the city and over 3 million in the county, the rental market here is diverse, competitive, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re drawn to the historic Gaslamp Quarter or Little Italy’s urban charm, the stunning coastal communities of La Jolla and Coronado, or the family-friendly neighborhoods of Carlsbad, Escondido, and Chula Vista, San Diego has housing options for every lifestyle.
San Diego’s rental market benefits from the city’s renowned weather—mild and sunny year-round—as well as its 70 miles of breathtaking beaches, making it a magnet for both long-term residents and seasonal renters. Additionally, San Diego’s world-class attractions, such as the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and LEGOLAND, along with its thriving job market in technology, military, and education, continue to attract a wide range of renters. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or a family looking for a new place to call home, San Diego offers a rich variety of rental options to suit your needs.

San Diego County has the highest percentage of non-owner occupied single-family homes and condominiums in the entire country.

I have been using Cal-Prop Since 1990. They have always been responsive and addressed any questions I had. When work is needed on my buildings, they attend to it quickly. In addition, they follow-up with making sure the work is done correctly. Many times, they have gone above and beyond the scope of our contract. They have integrity. I would recommend them to anyone.

Updating my review because Cal Prop Maintenance are awesome! We've had Chris and Eric in the apartment and they're always quick, efficient, professional and timely. Also appreciate our Property Manager's Jaime's quick responses and updates, etc. We used to get them after the person was already at our door, so it's been refreshing with our new PM.

I have been living at Casa Loma for almost 2 years now, and I have always had the best service from Cal-Prop. They promptly respond to every request and make the arrangements to have the issues fixed in a timely manner. Eric Paulin in Particular has been my assigned property manager, and had to deal with a difficult situation of parking disagreement with a tenant, where he intermediated the situation and proposed a solution in an extremely professional way to resolve the issue. I thank him for the service he provides to my wife and I as tenants and we hope to extend our stay here until we become homeowners. As a tenant, I can`t think of a better location.

Cal-Prop Property Management manages several rentals, for us, and we are extremely pleased with them. This is a very good and honest company all the way from the owner, Rick Thornton, to the managers, and repair and maintenance employees. Our personal property managers, Hobie Manley, and Vice President Melissa Young are both great. They are both always available to answer our questions and quick to address any concerns. Cal-Prop provides detailed reports on each of our properties and there is never a question as to what’s been done at the site. Additionally, we have experienced little or no loss of revenue during turnover when tenants are coming and going. Thank you for the good job you have been doing for us.

Eric P, my property manager has been amazing! He is prompt with his response whenever I had a question. Also, he keeps the residents up to date with things we need to know. He even showed me how to figure out where autopay was when it wasn’t intuitive on the mobile webpage.

I've had Cal-Prop for over a decade now and they are great. The management pretty much runs on autopilot and I rarely need to get involved but sometimes things go sideways for whatever reason and I do. They raise rents, deal with repairs and new tenants when needed. Highly recommended.

I’ve had a fantastic experience with Kate! She has made my housing experience a very smooth process, and I was able to book a showing right away with her. She is an excellent communicator and has an enthusiastic personality. I am so grateful my roommate and I have been in contact with her, because she helped us secure our new home! I would absolutely recommend Cal Prop management to anyone who is looking for trustworthy service and superior quality. Thank you Kate!
