Besides, La Mesa is home to several well-equipped shopping malls, so renters can have their needs covered without driving to nearby San Diego. The most popular shopping venues for renters are the La Mesa Springs shopping center and the Grossmont center. They both feature well-known retailers such as Macy's and Target, as well as specialty stores, wellness and fitness facilities, a movie theater and multiple dining options.

Transportation in La Mesa, CA
La Mesa is not very walkable, so renters often use their cars to get around. The local government of La Mesa has been making a conscious effort to make the city a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly community. The aim is to provide bike lanes and sidewalks connecting the main interest points throughout the town. Still, La Mesa renters have access to several public transportation options. A trolley connects the main attractions within the city limits, while seven bus routes connect La Mesa to key areas across San Diego County. Although San Diego is a short 20-minute drive away without traffic, the commute times are significantly longer during rush hours since many people choose to rent in La Mesa for its relatively affordable prices but commute to the city for work or school.
