In Downtown San Diego’s quiet Cortez Hill neighborhood, this spacious 2BR/2BA residence at Discovery offers a thoughtful balance of openness and retreat. A formal entry leads into a large living, dining, and kitchen area designed for easy entertaining, with a gas fireplace casting a warm glow. The primary suite is generous enough to accommodate a sitting area, while the spa bath features a 6-foot soaking tub and a large, separate walk-in shower. A well-proportioned guest suite enjoys a huge walk-in closet, an adjacent bath, and a pocket door for added privacy. Dual AC units support comfort and efficiency, and in-unit laundry keeps daily routines seamless. The full-service building includes a rooftop pool, fitness center, full-time front desk staff, and extensive electronic surveillance, plus two deeded parking spaces and separate storage for a more effortless city rhythm.

In Laguna Woods Village, this turnkey El Mirador condo frames sweeping golf course views from nearly every room, bringing a calm, open-air outlook into daily life. Remodeled kitchens and baths pair with thoughtful upgrades including central A/C, crown molding, and double-pane windows, while abundant storage keeps the interiors feeling collected and uncluttered. An enclosed sunroom stretches the living space with panoramic fairway views—an easy spot for morning coffee or an afternoon read—while a front patio adds another outdoor moment. Subterranean parking with elevator access streamlines arrivals and errands. Beyond the front door, the 55+ community offers a resort-style rhythm with golf courses, pools, fitness centers, clubhouses, pickleball, equestrian facilities, art studios, over 200 clubs, free transportation, and close proximity to Laguna Beach.

The kitchen comes equipped with a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and built-in microwave, while a washer and dryer are included to simplify daily routines.

It’s a setting that balances simplicity at home with an active, outdoors-forward community feel.

Steps from the shoreline in Del Mar’s Beach Colony, this spacious condominium is designed around the rhythms of the coast, with full whitewater ocean and coastline views that draw you straight to the view balcony.

As a guest, you also have access—when available—to L’Auberge Del Mar Resort’s heated pool, jacuzzi, fitness center, and two lighted tennis courts.
