About this property
Ocean View Central San Diego Treehouse Super Quiet Garden Apartment
Apartment is a 'granny flat' located above a garage, away from the street, and has a nice ocean view from the living room and porch. Street parking, wifi, A/C, remodeled 2023, King bed, walk-in closet, full kitchen. Very centrally located- 5.5 miles from Ocean Beach, 5.8 miles to San Diego Zoo/Balboa Park, 6.5 miles from Sea World, 7.4 miles to Little Italy, 8 miles to Petco Park/Downtown/Convention Center, 9.5 miles to La Jolla, 9 miles to SDSU, 2.8 miles to USD, 12 miles to UCSD.
Apartment is cozy, with compact living room and kitchen, but large bedroom with walk-in closet, and good sized bathroom with shower. House looks down on the rest of the neighborhood, and makes you feel like a bird in its nest! House overlooks the backyard garden. Living room looks west toward ocean. Granny flat is accessed by a series of steps that go up to the apartment from the top of the driveway; outside the front door is a covered 'lanai' or balcony that overlooks the yard and neighborhood to the northwest (mt soledad is clearly visible). Great spot for happy hour or a coffee in the morning.
The apartment is very private- you do not share a wall with the main house, and the bedroom faces east and south, so you do not hear or see main house occupants or hear street noise. Inside the door is a small but cozy living room with two chairs, two lamps, a small table between the chairs, a tv, and a small bookcase with books. Beyond the living room is a nice kitchen with full-sized fridge, gas oven and stove, a bistro-style kitchen table and two chairs, and all kitchen accessories- microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, knife set, etc. The bathroom is compact, with a decent vanity, a shower with removeable shower head 'wand', and toilet. Light in bathroom has a bluetooth speaker so you can sing in the shower.
Between the bathroom and bedroom is a large linen closet with extra towels and sheets.
The bedroom is pretty big, with a king bed with premium mattress. At the foot of the bed is a chest of drawers (9 in all) with tv above. There is a nightstand on the north side of the bed with a small lamp. Between the bed and the walk-in closet is a small desk with a few drawers and a chair. Inside the walk-in closet are extra blankets and pillows.
The neighborhood is quiet. Neighborhood was developed during WWII, and racist housing laws were suspended for the area due to the urgency of the war effort; as a result, the neighborhood is very racially mixed. Unlike a lot of areas of SD (including but not limited to South Park, Little Italy, Logan Heights, Ocean Beach, Loma Portal, Point Loma, University City, Mira Mesa, Northern La Jolla, Bankers Hill, and National City) we have no jet 'fly over'. Street parking is usually available out front. Apartment is even quieter as it's away from the street and in the backyard. If you want to walk to bars and restaurants and nightlife, this is not the apartment for you; if you would prefer to stay in a quiet neighborhood with short drives to SD attractions, this could be a great option.

Why they chose this property
If you like quiet, this is a great space. We're bordered on the north and west by Tecolote Canyon natural preserve, so there's no 'thru' traffic. We're near the end of the street, so there's little traffic. Our neighbors are working people and very quiet. Apartment is in the backyard, and bedroom is facing away from street, so it's quiet. Birds woke us up when we first lived here. Furthermore, the prevailing westerly breeze crosses mission bay, funnels into tecolote canyon, and filters through our neighborhood, keeping us cool when other areas of san diego are sweltering. At other times, when the beach is foggy and freezing (june gloom/may gray), we're usually basking in the sunshine. Very quiet, easy access to all of san diego. Little to no traffic or congestion (unlike beach). Easy parking.
What makes this property unique
The backyard is very nice. Very quiet and private. Apartment is cute.
