The apartment I lived in for over three years in Otay in currently available. I have no financial stake in it so I can tell you the advantages and disadvantages.
Its a two bedroom apartment in excellent condition about 1 mile from the Otay border crossing. I paid $400 a month for it, but given the current rental market the landlord would probably be willing to go considerbly lower.
Advantages
- excellent landlord who repairs everything
- secure, offstreet parking
- good security; landlord and wife live below so they would look after place when I was gone.
- the nicest apartment I've seen in the neigborhood
Disadvantages
- working class neigborhood
- on a street that gets a lot of traffic (although the neigbors are quiet)
If you have any questions, PM me and I can give you the landlord's number or location.

working class neighborhoods tend to be a little grittier than the privileged class ones. If you are not sure what I am talking about, take a drive around the tijuana country club.

Exactly, in my otay neigborhood it was a mixture of nice apartments and dirty run down ones. An auto mechanic shop would be next door to a house. The streets are filled with people cooking food and selling things. None the less, nice people and I got to know the neighbors and the shop owners.
Where I currently live in Chapultepec, people live in walled in estates and have little contact with their neighbors. Streets are only for driving cars. The nearest taco stand is a mile away.
