Home types

House or condominium?

Typical values by home type, and typical rent, for each ZIP code.

The type of home changes the price

Zillow’s typical values for single-family homes and for condominiums, and the Zillow Observed Rent Index for all homes and apartments (Aug 2026). Highest typical value first. Rent as a share of value is a rough yearly figure, not a return on investment.

The housing stock

The housing in each ZIP code

What the Census Bureau’s survey says about the homes and housing costs, in four groups.

Across the bay and south: Downtown, Point Loma, Ocean Beach and Imperial Beach

A profile of the housing

The Census Bureau surveys households every year and combines five years of answers (2020-2024) to estimate housing measures for small areas. Margins of error appear as ±, and the area boundaries approximate ZIP codes.

Nothing here describes the people who live in a ZIP code, only its housing and costs. The survey’s home value is owner-reported and differs from the Zillow value used on the rest of this page.

Six questions that help you choose

  1. What type of home do you want? House, townhome or condominium: the type changes the price more than the ZIP code does in some places.
  2. How do you get around? Compare the trip you make most often, at the hour you make it.
  3. What are the ongoing costs? Association dues, insurance and property tax vary by property.
  4. How long do you plan to stay? A short stay favors renting or a home that is easy to sell.
  5. What is the rent alternative? The table shows typical rents, and the rent-versus-buy tool compares the costs.
  6. What will you do with the space? Lot size, parking and outdoor space differ from place to place.

The places

Across the bay and south: Downtown San Diego (ZIP 92101) faces Coronado across San Diego Bay; Point Loma (ZIP 92106) is a peninsula community across the bay, and Ocean Beach (ZIP 92107, which includes Sunset Cliffs) sits on its ocean side. Imperial Beach (ZIP 91932) is a separate city south of Coronado, along the Silver Strand.

Up the coast in the city of San Diego: Pacific Beach (ZIP 92109, which also covers Mission Beach) is a beach community between Mission Bay and La Jolla, and La Jolla (ZIP 92037) is a coastal community north of downtown.

North County: Del Mar (92014), Solana Beach (92075), Encinitas (92024), Carlsbad (92008, 92009, 92010 and 92011) and Oceanside (92054) are separate coastal cities. Cardiff (92007) is the Cardiff-by-the-Sea community of Encinitas, which has its own ZIP code; Leucadia and Olivenhain share ZIP 92024 with the rest of Encinitas. Rancho Santa Fe (92067) is an unincorporated community inland from Del Mar and Solana Beach. Oceanside’s other ZIP codes (92056, 92057 and 92058) are not shown.

A ZIP code is a mail-delivery area, so each contains more than one kind of street, and a home’s own address matters more than any average.

Common questions

Is renting cheaper than owning in these places?

Often the monthly cost of renting is lower than the cost of owning a typical home, but the two build very different things. The rent-versus-buy tool compares them.

Why does a house cost so much more than a condominium in some ZIP codes?

Land. In some places a house includes a lot with a high value of its own, while a condominium shares it.

Where does the data come from?

Values and rents come from Zillow Research; the housing profile comes from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
