Welcome to San Diego!
San Diego County is the southernmost county in California, and home to the city of San Diego, as well as other cities, such as La Mesa, El Cajon, and Chula Vista. There are over 3 million people living in the area. The weather is nice all year, with relatively low humidity and plenty of sunshine. IRC San Diego has two offices in the area – one in the City Heights area of San Diego, and the other in El Cajon. We serve clients living in all areas of San Diego.
To the south of San Diego is the country of Mexico. Many people travel back and forth across the U.S. border for work, school, and shopping. It is common to hear people speak Spanish all over the city.
To the west of San Diego is the Pacific Ocean. All beaches are public property in California, which means you do not need to pay to visit a beach. Walking along the water or swimming and surfing are popular activities for many families. For further information about San Diego County, visit: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov
