A palm-lined spa courtyard, a rooftop terrace with a barbecue, and an elevated pool – this San Diego apartment is stacked with reasons to stay in. The kitchen opens into the living room so evenings with friends feel easy, and a games room and resident social club mean there's plenty to do without stepping outside. When you do venture out, the Gaslamp Quarter's Victorian rooftop bars and vibrant nightlife are within easy reach, and Balboa Park's museums and gardens are a fifteen-minute drive away.
