    What's special

    Freshly remodeled 2bdr/2bth gated apartment home in the Mid-City & Talmadge area near SDSU! This apartment is warm with new flooring and cabinetry throughout and comes with (1) underground gated parking spot. Not to mention only a five minute drive to the San Diego State University Campus! The complex also has on-site laundry facilities and a barbecue area! Talmadge was established in 1925 and is a historic neighborhood in the heart of San Diego's Mid-City community. Talmadge is named after three Hollywood silent movie stars, Norma, Natalie, and Constance Talmadge. Originally it included the area of Kensington, but it is now known to locals as "Ken-Tal", as they share the monthly publication "Ken-Tal News." This suburb-like neighborhood has fun community events like Food Trucks Nights in the Summer and an annual Block Party in October. Drive around Talmadge and you will see the historically restored black Talmadge gates and Talmadge Circle, a charming turnabout, at the heart of Talmage. **Get $300 Off your first month's rent with a move in by 02/01/2026 RENTAL DETAILS Lease Duration: 12 months Utilities Included: Exterior Landscape Resident Pays: Gas/Electric, Water/Sewer & Trash Pickup (Billback) Parking: (1) Assigned Parking Space Laundry: On-site Shared Laundry Pet Policy: No Pets Please SHOWINGS To schedule a showing, visit The Mendes Company website and click on "Property Management," then "Search Properties."
