## Sunny, Peaceful 1BR Near La Mesa Village Restaurant Row
SNEAK PEEK Available in October
**Gated community - Covered parking included - Two blocks from the trolley**
Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, sunny 1 BR home tucked into a quiet corner of La Mesa Village just steps from the fun of great restaurants, coffee, local events on La Mesa Blvd / Restaurant Row + a 15 minute commute to downtown San Diego.
This airy second-floor, one-bedroom/one-bath condo faces a quiet courtyard with only a few neighbors. You'll be about 50 feet from Farmer's Table and the beginning of La Mesa Village's popular restaurant row, so dinner, brunch, drinks, and neighborhood fun are right nearby without giving up the calm of a small residential community.
The remodeled home has excellent cross-breezes, wood and tile flooring throughout (**no carpet
), and a huge walk-in closet with plenty of room. It's also the sunniest unit in the courtyard.
