Crown Point, next to Mission & Pacific Beach, easy highway access, close to PB, far enough from the noise/traffic. Area continues to see lower-end properties remodeled/rebuilt as luxury units, raising values for entire area. Take lunch or mental smoke breaks at the Bay.

The convenient open floorplan means the living room entertainment center is easily enjoyable from the entire lower level, great for multitasking during the the small games or hosting for the big games. Even better, setup outdoor entertainment on the roof and host from there. Setup a small BBQ station on the balcony outside the kitchen, or a big chef center on the roof. Put a desk top on the balcony or the roof for that working-at-an-outdoor-cafe feel at home. Make friends at the Bay with residents of nearby Baypointe or AVA apartments for their pools, multiple jacuzzies, and vibrant communities of international students from all over the world for that multi-cultural exposure.
