Ivy Park at Escondido sits in a lovely spot in Escondido, California, right along the coast with nice views of the mountains and a lot of greenery around, and you'll find that the beaches, San Diego Safari Park, and Grand Theater aren't far from the campus either, so there's plenty to see if residents want to go out or join one of the scheduled adventures, though many folks seem to enjoy walking along the safe grounds, sitting in the gardens, or spending time in the lounges both inside and outside because you've got bright rooms, private patios, and gathering spaces with flowers and trees all around. The building is two stories, and offers a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, with layouts ranging from about 315 up to 777 square feet, and every unit comes with things like Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and cable, plus access to both common areas and private spaces, and the place does allow small pets, so some residents do have their animals with them.
