Mornings often start cool and foggy with ocean breezes, clearing to sunny afternoons along West Cliff Drive, Natural Bridges, and Lighthouse Field.

Everyday errands are simple with New Leaf Market and Safeway nearby, plus Toadal Fitness and neighborhood parks, including University Terrace dog park.
