SDSU rentals with a garage and in-unit laundry: what is listed near campus

Garage parking and a washer you don't have to share can make student life a lot easier, so it makes sense to search for SDSU rentals with a garage and in-unit laundry before the next wave of signings. We went through our current San Diego listings to find the ones whose descriptions mention a garage, then added a few other current options worth a look.

In student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 9 Nov 2026, parking and laundry both came up often, along with pets and whether utilities were included. So if those features are on your list, you're not alone. Here's what's listed right now.

Begin your search at Off-Campus Universe, where you can browse current listings near San Diego.

Fully Furnished Condo with Gated Parking is listed at $3,350/month for a furnished one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit at 5980 Dandridge Ln in San Diego, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. This one matches both features: the listing says it has an in-unit washer and dryer and a secure gated garage with one spot. The listing also says all utilities are included in rent, and the description mentions hilltop views from a corner unit. It's month to month, with lease timing listed as May to October 2026, which has passed, so confirm current availability with the owner.

5BD/3BA. Private Turfed Yard! is listed at $7,700/month for five bedrooms and three bathrooms at 6262 Dorothy Dr in San Diego, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says there's a two-car garage with parking, plus a large turfed backyard and two fridges. It doesn't mention laundry, so ask the lister whether there's a washer and dryer in the unit. It's unfurnished, posted by a company, and runs as a 10-month lease with dates listed as 8/11/2027-6/20/2028, so it's one to watch if you're already planning for fall 2027. The listing says tenants cover gas, water and electric.

The next three are other current listings. They don't mention a garage or in-unit laundry, but they cover different price points, and two of them are listed as available now. ROOMS FOR RENT is a private room in a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 6404 Zena Dr in San Diego, listed at $1,200/month. It's rented by the room on a month to month basis, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus, and its lease timing says Available now. The description says tenants share the two bathrooms and the common areas, and the listing says there's plenty of street parking around the house. The house comes unfurnished, so plan to bring your own bed and desk.

1be 1bth Primary Bedroom Near Campus is listed at $1,400/month for an unfurnished primary bedroom with an attached bathroom in a townhouse at 5435 Soho View Terrace in San Diego. It's listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus, on a year lease. The listing's lease timing shows 8/15/2026, which has passed, so confirm current move-in dates with the owner.

1 bedroom right next to SDSU! is an unfurnished one-bedroom apartment at 4601 63rd St in San Diego, listed at $1,795/month on a year lease. It's listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus, and its lease timing says Available now. The listing says the building has onsite laundry, a pool and a gated entry, and the description mentions a walk-in closet and wall A/C. Ask the company whether parking is included.

How these San Diego listings compare

Only one of these five, the Dandridge Ln unit, describes both a garage and an in-unit washer and dryer. The Dorothy Dr listing mentions a two-car garage but not laundry, so that's a question for the lister. The other three are useful if you'd trade those extras for a lower price or an earlier move-in.

The lease setups vary a lot. The Dandridge Ln unit and the Zena Dr room are month to month, which helps if you only need a place for spring semester. The Soho View Terrace room and the 63rd St apartment are year leases. The Dorothy Dr listing is a 10-month lease that doesn't start until August 2027, so it's really a next-fall option for a group that wants to lock something in early.

Furnishing is another split. The Dandridge Ln unit is furnished, while the other four are listed as unfurnished. If you're moving in January, factor in the time and cost of getting a bed, desk and basics before classes pick up again.

SDSU rentals with a garage and in-unit laundry: what to check

If you're set on SDSU rentals with a garage and in-unit laundry, read the listing wording closely. A post that mentions parking doesn't always mean a garage, and a post that mentions laundry might mean a shared room in the building rather than a machine in your unit. Ask the lister to spell out exactly what you get and whether there's an extra monthly charge for it.

For garages, ask how many cars fit, whether the spot is assigned to you, and whether it's being shared with other tenants. In a group rental, decide early who gets the garage spot, since a two-car garage won't cover five people with cars. If a listing only mentions street parking, ask the lister how easy it usually is to find a spot on weeknights and ask about any permit rules.

For laundry, ask whether the washer and dryer are included or rented, who repairs them, and whether they're full-size or stackable. If laundry is shared or onsite, ask whether it's coin- or card-operated and how many machines there are.

For context, in student posts in local Facebook housing groups collected on 9 Nov 2026, the median rent per person students quoted was $1,368. That figure comes from what students typed in those groups, not from our listings, so treat it as a rough sense of what people were asking about. Pets and utilities-included arrangements also came up often in those posts, so if either matters to you, ask about them in your first message.

Tips for landing a place with the extras you want

• Ask each lister for a written list of what's included, such as garage access, laundry and utilities, and whether any of it costs extra.

• Confirm the current lease dates on any listing whose posted dates have already passed before you plan your move.

• If you're signing for fall 2027 with a group, settle who gets the garage spot and how rent is split before you apply.

• Tour in person or by video, and ask to see the garage and the washer and dryer themselves, not just the bedrooms.
