Quiet suburban neighborhood with houses fairly close together. 1/4 mile east of Interstate-5 and 1.5 miles from the beach. Parking is in my driveway, which has a moderate 4% slope front-to-rear, and some sideways tilt. I have blocks available that will get you almost level. This space is limited to vans under 25 feet long and 88 inches or less in width with mirrors folded. This is so I can get my car in and out of the garage. Sorry, no trailers or RVs. Temperatures are mostly pleasant, as we are 1.5 miles from the coast. Suggested local attractions: Nice beaches 1-3 miles away (Fletcher Cove has plenty of free parking), VONs supermarket & restaurants: 1/4 mile away. Lots of other stores & restaurants within 1 mile. Mission Bay: 20 minutes. Downtown San Diego: 30 minutes.
