Not one but three parks adjoin Winter Gardens for plenty of outdoor activities. The parks are Northcote, Padre Dam and Shadow Hills.In San Diego County, Winter Gardens is a small community -- a Census Designated Place, actually -- with a population of 20,631 according to the 2010 U.S. Census. The community is ideally situated between I-8 and the San Vicente Freeway and near such recreational hubs as Lake Jennings and Lindo Lake, and the Cleveland National Forest.

This location often has a moderate number of rentals that becomes available on a regular basis. Even with this regularly replenished market, you should still give yourself about a month to find places to rent. You can find an apartment rental such as a 2 bedroom apartment or rental condos in this suburban community. As always, you can search for listings online or by looking in the local newspaper and larger regional newspapers. You may find, however, that your best bet for finding the most viable dwelling is to walk or drive the streets of the Winter Gardens looking for rental properties. This way you'll also know what area of the community is going to be the best fit for you. When you find what you're looking for, make sure you have what your future landlord will be looking for, too -- credit report, identification, and just in case he or she is especially stringent, copies of your most recent bank statements.You'll want a car if you live here. Most residents commute between 15 and 30 minutes to work, and use a private vehicle to do so. While public transportation is available in the area, it is limited and not use by most as their primary mode of transportation.
