The San Diego Apartments that Score Highest for Enjoying the Outdoors

Scored on hundreds of factors — not just whether there's a balcony, but how deeply each community connects you to the outdoor experiences that matter. The 223 here rose to the top of that range across every apartment in San Diego.

Picture coffee on your private patio or balcony at dawn, a midday bike ride through local parks, and a sunset dinner. That's the kind of day these communities are built around.
