Help me pick a new apartment!

Currently living in Normal Heights and looking to move to a 2b2b. I've spent the past week looking for options and have narrow my choices to a few, but I'm having trouble making a final decision on one so would love any insight or advice!

Budget: $3000 - $4250/month

Top contenders:

• PURL (Mission Valley):
  • Pros: Civita Park seems like an awesome place to live. Apartment seems modern with nice appliances and interiors. Great amenities and space.
  • Cons: No great view, not walkable, and doesn't really feel like you're living in San Diego imo in that it's similar to many other California apartment communities.
• Alexan Gallerie (Mission Valley)
  • Pros: Affordable with all the nice amenities and super nice interiors/appliances. Close to Fashion Valley, close to all freeways.
  • Cons: Similar to PURL, doesn't feel distinctly SD. Also possibly the least walkable option on my list.
• BLVD (NP)
  • Pros: Great location, awesome and interesting building, very walkable, and nice views with many of their units. Seems like a fun place to live.
  • Cons: Not many amenities (tiny gym, no pool), and was not super impressed by the interiors (no gas stove, cabinets aren't soft close, etc)
• The Wyatt Maker's Quarter (EV)
  • Pros: Awesome building, incredible amenities, very modern and nice interiors. Relatively walkable area, close to Balboa and many other fun places.
  • Cons: Traffic? And based on Reddit, East Village should be avoided at all costs? I personally didn't see many unhoused individuals, and this complex is directly across the street from the police dept HQ. Perhaps this is overblown?

Other options I've toured and ruled out (but please let me know if I should reconsider):

• AVA Balboa (Banker's Hill) - really wanted to like this place since Banker's Hill would be my dream, but was not impressed by the interior of the building/units. Felt overpriced for what is offerred.

• Asano on Fourth (Banker's Hill) - great location, great modern apartment interiors/appliances, meh amenities, but is directly under the flight path of landing planes, so can never really have the windows open during the day. Unsure if I'd be able to sleep through it.

• The MINN (Golden Hill) - newly opening in Golden Hill, still being built and seems like still under construction. Basically out of my budget for not many amenities. I think too close to the freeway. Would love to live in one of their lofts though.

• Vida North Park - nice location, large windows, nice appliances + gas stove. Pool/spa/gym are included. Cons: pretty expensive, and I thought the interiors were kinda depressing

• Circa 37 (MV) - similar to PURL with older appliances and more outdated interior designs

Are there any of these I should reconsider? Any of the top contenders I should stay away from? Throw it all away and start from scratch?
