There are places in San Diego where you can live close to everything, and there are places where you can escape from everything. At 4334-36 Maryland Street, you get a little bit of both. Set along the canyon on one of University Heights' most beloved streets, this two-unit property feels remarkably removed from the city around it. Step onto the canyon-facing patio and you're surrounded by a canopy of mature trees, the sound of birds, and the kind of privacy that makes it easy to forget that Park Boulevard is only a few blocks away. The property has been extensively renovated and offers 1,265 square feet of living space across two separate units. The upper residence features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, while the lower 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit creates the kind of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in central San Diego. Rent it out to help offset the cost of ownership, create a private space for a parent or family member, give a nanny their own home, or simply keep it available for guests. Both units are currently vacant, giving the next owner the freedom to decide exactly how the property should work for them. A fenced front yard, two-car driveway, and multiple outdoor spaces complete the property, including a canyon-facing patio surrounded by mature trees. And then there is Maryland Street itself. Walk a few blocks and you're surrounded by the restaurants and coffee shops of Park Boulevard. Groceries are close enough to reach on foot, and the nearby Vermont Street pedestrian bridge connects University Heights directly to Hillcrest. Yet back at home, the canyon creates an entirely different experience. Maryland Street is also home to one of University Heights' most cherished traditions, transforming each Halloween as thousands of trick-or-treaters fill the neighborhood. It's one of those details that says more about this street than a map ever could. You can walk to the energy of the neighborhood when you want it, then come home, step outside, and listen to the birds in the canyon. That combination is what makes 4334-36 Maryland Street so difficult to replicate.
