VA Approved! Some condos are just a place to sleep. This one's a whole lifestyle upgrade. Inside, sleek luxury vinyl plank flooring runs underfoot while a fluted fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen doesn't play it safe either, new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a bold tiled backsplash. Then you walk outside, and things get really good. Take your pick: lounge poolside, unwind in the spa after a long week, or grab a racquet and work out some energy on the courts. It's resort living, except you actually live here. And the location? Unreal. Westfield UTC and Whole Foods are minutes away for whenever you need to shop, eat, or people-watch. Craving nature instead? Marian Bear and Rose Canyon's hiking trails are right around the corner, Add UC San Diego, Qualcomm, and San Diego's biotech corridor nearby, and you're living at the center of everything that makes this city run. This is Golden Triangle living at its best, polished, connected, and genuinely fun. Come see it before it's gone!
