Yes, they are pretty easy to grow here. Practically, every house in this neighborhood has 1 to 10 papaya plants in their yards.
Many species grow very quickly...the Mexican ones grow a little slower and live and produce longer.
I just planted some small papaya plants a few days ago ...and they're drowning in the record, flooding rains of the last two days. It rained heavy to very heavy today from: 1:00 pm to 9:00 p.m. tonight...this was non-stop rain. Some areas around San Diego had over 4 inches of rain over the last two days...this is unbelievable for San Diego!
