Southern Highland sits in the Olivewood neighborhood of National City, California, surrounded by parks, public transit, shopping, dining, and plenty of employers, so folks can get where they need to go easily and have much to do nearby, and when residents come back home, they find gated underground parking that keeps cars secure and assigned to each person, along with a safe, central location. The community focuses on comfort, accessibility, and affordability, offering pet-friendly studio and one-bedroom apartments with patios or balconies, designer finishes, and roomy layouts, while also including adjustable air conditioning for those warmer days and wheelchair-accessible showers and accessible rooms for easier movement. Southern Highland has an on-site laundry center for convenience, common spaces both indoors and outdoors for residents to gather, and supports a spirited atmosphere where folks can build relationships and take part in different activities both onsite and offsite, including events such as devotional gatherings. The apartments are set up for independent, active seniors, and daily care services can be adjusted as needs change, including non-ambulatory and incontinence care, meal provision with chef-prepared, nutritious meals, and access to beautician services. There are trained staff available to help with personal care and other tasks, and the location follows strong legal protections for residents, covering gender identity, orientation, and source of income, with everything meeting ADA policy and Fair Housing laws. Southern Highland also has certain fees-application, administrative, security deposit, and pet deposit-though details aren't specified, and rent should be within a third of gross household income to stay affordable, with several units offering a 532 square foot floorplan and some utilities included. Pet policies allow both cats and dogs with some weight limits, and the whole place is built with accessibility, security, and comfort in mind, plus TTY services by dialing 711 and office hours running Monday through Friday from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening, so people can reach out with questions, leasing, or management needs when it's most convenient.
