Types of apartment in Oceanside, CA
Oceanside, CA has a wide mix of apartments and houses for rent. Near the coast, around Downtown, the Harbor, and South Oceanside, many apartments sit in low-rise stucco buildings from the mid-century period or newer boxy buildings with balconies and gated parking. Some beach-close streets also have small cottage-style rentals and duplexes. Interiors in these apartments often include compact layouts, hard-surface floors, and wall-unit or no central air. Exterior space can be limited, but some buildings have shared courtyards or roof decks.Farther inland, around Fire Mountain, Rancho Del Oro, MiraCosta, and parts of the San Luis Rey area, apartments often shift to larger garden-style complexes with wider parking lots, more trees, and simpler suburban exteriors. You also see townhome rentals and single-story or two-story houses with stucco walls, tile roofs, and attached garages. These apartments can have larger living rooms and more storage, but they may sit farther from the beach and Coaster stations. In older pockets, some units have updated kitchens inside older exteriors, so the outside and inside do not always match.
