A/c
Is air conditioning necessary in SD? Is that something that I should be concerned about when looking for apartments? I'm planning to be somewhat near the coast.

Not near the coast. I've only used AC in el cajon, santee, and poway, never in OB or Point Loma.

I have a cousin who lives in an non-air-conditioned upper floor apartment in OB who wishes he had A/C.

With everything closed and the oven on, it is currently 74 degrees in my house.
Opening the door and it lowers down to 68 degrees.
The ocean breeze keeps it between 68 and 76 year round. Once in a while we get a heat wave, but it only gets to about 82, while it gets into the mid 90s and low hundreds inland.
There is absolutely no need for AC at the beach.

Most of the owners renting or trying to rent will tell you no. Me being from the East coast and living in various hot places overseas. I would not settle for no A/C. Does the location play a contributing factor yes. Iv'e always live in North County. Between Scripps Ranch, Rancho Bernardo Downtown(short stay) and now San Marcos. Since 05 during summer peak A/C was needed and my friends who did have it always happend to be in the neighborhood. 
All depends on the person though my wife will sweat to save a dollar. |

Only if you live in East County. Anywhere else, a fan will work just fine. That's what I used in the coastal heat, and had no problems. And I'm from the East Coast originally, so I know all about the heat and humidity.

The temps may be nice along the coast, but if you don't like humidity and feeling sticky, you will want A/C. Granted, I don't live in SD yet, but I will soon and have talked/stayed in Sd enough to want A/C when I move there. Also, you can always purchase a free-standing A/C unit for one room, if need be.

I lived without it for a long time. But once I got away from the coast I find it is absolutely necessary. Even in Hillcrest we had window units.
