About this House

## Sunny, Peaceful 1BR Near La Mesa Village Restaurant Row

 SNEAK PEEK Available in October

**Gated community - Covered parking included - Two blocks from the trolley**

Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, sunny 1 BR home tucked into a quiet corner of La Mesa Village just steps from the fun of great restaurants, coffee, local events on La Mesa Blvd / Restaurant Row + a 15 minute commute to downtown San Diego.

This airy second-floor, one-bedroom/one-bath condo faces a quiet courtyard with only a few neighbors. You'll be about 50 feet from Farmer's Table and the beginning of La Mesa Village's popular restaurant row, so dinner, brunch, drinks, and neighborhood fun are right nearby without giving up the calm of a small residential community.

The remodeled home has excellent cross-breezes, wood and tile flooring throughout (**no carpet
), and a huge walk-in closet with plenty of room. It's also the sunniest unit in the courtyard.

 Home highlights

- Small, secure, gated, and lovingly managed community
- Sunny second-floor location overlooking a peaceful courtyard
- Wood and tile floors throughout
- Large walk-in closet
- Reserved covered parking included at no extra cost
- Extra exterior storage above the parking space great for boxes, holiday decor, and other items
- Just two blocks from the trolley
- 1 mile from I-8, Highway 94, and Highway 125
- 15 minutes to downtown San Diego and the beach

This is an ideal home for anyone who values a walkable neighborhood, easy freeway and trolley access, and a quieter alternative to a large apartment complex. This unit is individually managed - so help is a text away! No giant management companies who ignore you, no forms, just quick help!

    "I have spent a good part of my life in La Mesa, my grandparents settling here in 1957. I live in their house. I graduated from Helix in ‘81, my niece from Grossmont in 2 weeks. Other than getting a little crowded, La Mesa is a centrally located, youthful, and social community, great to raise a family."
