San Diego housing trends show shift toward multi-generational and attached living
In San Diego, changing household dynamics and high costs are driving shifts in residential property preferences. Families are increasingly seeking multi-generational living arrangements, utilizing accessory dwelling units (ADUs), casitas, and garage or basement conversions to accommodate aging parents, adult children, or remote workers.
Due to regional affordability challenges, attached housing is emerging as a primary entry point for the market. In San Diego County, the median price for single-family detached homes ranges between $1.08 million and $1.12 million, while the median price for condos or townhomes is approximately $670,000. This represents a price difference of roughly 38% to 40%. In coastal areas like Pacific Beach, the gap is even more pronounced, with single-family homes averaging over $2.3 million compared to approximately $895,000 for condos.
