Urban Edge. Elevated Living. Welcome to Hillcrest. Some homes give you a place to live. This one gives you a reason to stay home.
This 5-plex is a boutique collection of five distinctive rowhomes in the heart of Hillcrest, where contemporary design, smart-home technology, and effortless city living come together. This thoughtfully designed residence embraces vertical living, with multiple levels that create separation, flexibility, and plenty of room to make the space your own.

The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor along with the laundry room, complete with its own private patio—an ideal retreat for morning coffee, quiet reading, or simply stepping outside for a breath of fresh air. The 2nd floor features two additional rooms that are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, creating an incredibly flexible setup for remote work, guests, creative pursuits, a yoga or meditation room, game room, or whatever your lifestyle calls for.

The heart of the home is bright, open, and designed for entertaining. North-West facing windows bring in beautiful natural light, while the living room delivers an especially memorable show at golden hour. As the sun drops, the views become the main event—and the experience gets even better upstairs on the exclusive rooftop deck, practically giving you about a 270degree panoramic view where the eyes meet ocean, mountain, and cityscapes create the perfect backdrop for sunset drinks, weekend gatherings, fire work shows, or a quiet night under the stars.

Inside, luxury vinyl tile flooring, quartz surfaces, Samsung stainless steel appliances, and contemporary finishes create a clean, sophisticated aesthetic without feeling overly precious. The kitchen features a cooking range, double oven, and a WiFi-enabled Samsung Smart refrigerator—yes, you can check whether you’re out of milk while standing in the grocery aisle.

For the tech-minded, the home is equipped with a Control4 smart-home system, including integrated lighting controls and thoughtful technological touches throughout.

And then there’s the location. Advantageously situated between Mission Hills and Hillcrest, once you step outside, you’re moments from renowned restaurants, shopping, coffee, nightlife, and everyday conveniences. It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can trade the car for a walk, a bike ride, or a spontaneous dinner out. The residents of 5-Plex have also created a genuine tight-knit community, looking out for one another while still enjoying everything that comes with living in the middle of a major city.

For those considering a move from Los Angeles or the Bay Area, this is the San Diego lifestyle people move here for: sophisticated urban living, incredible outdoor spaces, rooftop sunsets, and a vibrant neighborhood—all without giving up the energy and convenience of city life.

Come for the views. Stay for the lifestyle.
