A communal rooftop pool, games courtyard with table tennis, spa nestled among palm trees, and a barbecue terrace – this San Diego apartment is built for people who'd rather not leave home. The resident social lounge and on-site restaurant, mean evenings take care of themselves, while a multi-level fitness centre removes any excuse to skip a workout. A private balcony lets you soak up the neighbourhood's energy between it all, and when you do venture out, Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and Old Town are all within a short drive.
