Quiet and very serene, the perfect place to read or just enjoy the peace and surrounding foliage. There's a secure bicycle storage room. 24 hour security, concierge, on-site manager. Everything you would expect from a 1st Class Building. Tweet Street park with a toddler play area is just two blocks away. Discovery at Cortez Hill is located at the top Beech Street between 8th and 9th, away from the noise and congestion of downtown, yet within walking distance to Balboa Park, Little Italy, the Harbor, East Village, and Downtown. Great freeway access and minutes to the airport and beaches. Extended time street parking in the area requires an Area F parking permit decal and/or a dashboard placard.
