Recreating my Comfort Zone in a New Area

Compiling all of this information about San Diego...

Doctors
Cheap tax preparation
Pho houses near the neighborhood(s) I am looking to live in
Public transit
Awesome bike trails
Continuous apartment searching
Job prospects

Basically trying to find the equivalent to all my go-to places in the bay area..

The most interesting thing I've found is that I keep looking for apartments in the 2nd choice neighborhoods. I know more about the places I don't really want to live, rather than the places I do. Is this because I am intimidated by moving into a nicer area?
I'm always looking for the best deal, and sometimes that includes compromising certain factors. For example, I don't mind dealing with a few homeless people near my apartment if I am paying $200 less for rent. Or do I? My whole standard of living has pretty much been shot since being out in the East Bay.

But forget that last negative statement. I want to live in a nice area, within my means. I need to be able to see myself comfortably going home alone at any given time. I could be ok stepping over homeless people going home alone...I could be ok with that. But I've been living that for the past few years and I think it's about time I tried something new.
