Neighborhood

An apartment in the Cortez neighborhood allows you to enjoy the vibes of downtown San Diego as well as the open green space of Balboa Park. Interstate 5 fronts the eastern and northern borders, giving you easy access to San Diego Bay and Coronado Island, roughly five miles away. That same Interstate serves as a gateway to nearby Pacific Ocean beaches.

Join your neighbors on the biking and hiking trails of Balboa Park, spend some time at the San Diego Zoo, or catch a film at the Fleet Science Center's IMAX Theater. When you want to feel the sand between your toes, head over to the Pacific Ocean side of Coronado Island to Breakers Beach or the Silver Strand State Beach. Dine at restaurants that line the major roadways of downtown San Diego or in one of the waterfront hotels. Locals love the lively Babcock and Story Bar, found in the historic Hotel del Coronado. Area shopping malls include Seaport Village, the Headquarters at Seaport, and the downtown Westfield Horton Plaza.
