National City offers apartments for rent in a historically rich area of San Diego County. Located in the South Bay region, this city holds the distinction of being the county's second-oldest city, incorporated in 1887. Situated just minutes from downtown San Diego and the US-Mexico border, National City provides convenient access for commuters. The city's "Mile of Cars" auto mall, one of the first in the world, remains a prominent landmark along National Avenue, while the Brick Row on Heritage Square preserves the area's Victorian architecture.
With an average rent of $1,643 for a one-bedroom apartment, National City offers housing options at different price points. Spanning just over 7 square miles, the city's compact layout has earned recognition as San Diego County's most walkable city. The San Diego Trolley's Blue Line and proximity to Interstate 5 and 805 provide multiple transportation options. Westfield Plaza Bonita mall serves as a major shopping destination, while outdoor spaces include the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge and the Sweetwater River pathway leading to San Diego Bay.
