Nestled in the heart of San Diego, this beautiful 3BR, 2BA home is in the beloved University Heights neighborhood - a community that perfectly balances historic charm with modern urban living. This character-rich property is a quiet, zen oasis with warm hardwood floors and bright, comfortable living spaces.
Our home is fully furnished with everything you need - just bring your clothes and toiletries. This includes all furnishings, bedding, towels, appliances, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, utilities, high-speed WiFi, washer & dryer, and more.
Central forced-air heating and air conditioning keep things comfortable year-round, on-site laundry is convenient, and there's 1 car parking in the driveway, plus free on-street parking.
The kitchen is completely outfitted: garbage disposal, gas stove and range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, dishes, silverware, glassware, mixer, food processor, rice maker, toaster, coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, crock pot, and more.
The master bedroom opens directly onto the backyard patio through glass French doors, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The second bedroom has a twin-size trundle bed and the trundle can be used in the office/3rd bedroom. (The living room couch also folds out into a queen size bed.)
For anyone who needs to work virtually, broadcast or needs fast, reliable internet service, we have 2 ISPS with the ability to hardwire in for both. The 3rd bedroom/office has an adjustable stand up desk with the option for sitting.
Outside, youll step into your own private outdoor resort. This beautiful fully fenced backyard is one of the home's showstoppers - landscaped and fully furnished for entertaining, relaxing, and soaking up our legendary year-round sunshine. There's a pergola-covered lounge area with a sectional sofa and a center fire pit table - perfect for evening gathering. A separate dining area with a patio table and seating for 6 sits beneath a large shade umbrella, ideal for al fresco meals. Lounge chairs invite lazy afternoons in the sun. Tropical plants, a lime tree, lemon tree, kumquat tree, and mature palms add a serene, resort-like touch and a gas grill is ready for weekend cookouts.
One of San Diego's oldest and most historic communities, University Heights offers a unique combination of history, architecture, theatre, music, art, and great restaurants.
Restaurants, Shopping & Entertainment: The area is filled with restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and artist studios primarily on Park Boulevard and Adams Avenue, with live entertainment most nights. This home is located a few blocks from Trolley Barn Park, a local favorite for picnics, yoga, and weekend concerts. Adjacent to Hillcrest, Normal Heights, and North Park, additional restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and nightclubs are within easy reach.
Grocery & Everyday Essentials: Small neighborhood markets, convenience stores, and specialty shops are within walking distance, while larger grocery options in Hillcrest, Mission Valley, and North Park are a short drive or bike ride away. The popular Hillcrest Farmers Market is also just minutes away for fresh local produce every Sunday.
Safe, Friendly & Community-Oriented: University Heights offers excellent schools and a safe environment, contributing to its popularity among newcomers. The neighborhood's blend of historical character, modern amenities, and community activities makes it an appealing choice for those moving to San Diego. Neighbors here are known for being warm and welcoming - it's the kind of place where people actually know each other.
Exceptionally Walkable: University Heights ranks among the 13th most walkable neighborhoods in all of San Diego, with a Walk Score of 87 - so most errands can be accomplished on foot. You can stroll to independent coffee shops, casual eateries, neighborhood bars, yoga studios, and small markets without getting in your car. The neighborhood has a relaxed, local feel - less touristy than the beach areas - yet you still have a strong dining and nightlife scene within a few blocks. Side streets are tree-lined and residential, so you can walk or go for an evening jog without feeling like you're in the middle of a commercial district.
Easy Transit & Commuting: MTS Bus 11 and MTS Bus 6 are close to most of the action in the neighborhood, and University Heights is also quite bike-friendly, with many locals pedaling themselves from point A to point B. San Diego International Airport is just 5 miles away.
Close to Downtown & Major Attractions: Located only four miles from downtown San Diego, University Heights is close to everything yet provides quiet, safe neighborhoods and vibrant community life.
