San Diego is known for its leafy parks, coffee shops, and world-famous zoo, so naturally, you probably want a home with easy access to all the above. Well, at this oh-so-trendy apartment, you'll be immersed in the local community, located right across the street from Balboa Park and within arm's reach of the city's best cultural attractions. Inside, the home is a picture of laid-back SoCal design, benefitting from a monochromatic style, hemp furnishings, desert plants and matching art, previously mentioned in Conde Nast and San Diego Magazine. A sanctuary of calm, the living space features neutral tones with light wood flooring and comfy seating that makes for the perfect spot to kick back in after a day wandering the city. For those in town on business, there's a sleek desk space for powering through emails before heading out to explore. The neighbourhood of North Park is just a seven-minute walk away – it's great for flat-white sipping, beer tasting and boutique browsing. You’re even closer to the San Diego Zoo (a four-minute drive), and under fifteen minutes from the beach – placing you squarely in the middle of the action. Pack a picnic and watch the sunset on the sand, then take the long way home, soaking in the balmy nights of this lively city.
