    AVAILABLE APPROX. NOV. 15 Super cool vintage Spanish-style apartment for rent! Historically designated landmark! This is an iconic property built in 1928 by master builder and architect Glen Funcheon, who built several historic bungalow courts and houses around San Diego. This property is located west of I-805, on Adams Ave (but up off the street, so it's quiet). If you've driven down Adams Ave. to the antiques district, you've seen it -- kind of a dijon mustard color and a "Santa Fe" architectural style. 11 units in total with an attractive common area that receives regular landscaping attention. Lots of fruit trees. Close to Trolley Barn park and tons of great shops & restaurants. Great part of University Heights/North Park. Super convenient to Texas St., I-8, and I-805, but not too close. Gated and secured property. This casita, 2470 Adams, gets lots of sun through its giant custom triangular window and features hardwood floors throughout, except the tiled bathroom. Tankless water heater, new plumbing, new electrical. Some new appliances in kitchen. Garage is available for $150/month extra. Can fit 1 small-med car or lots of stuff, but ONLY waterproof items, as these old garages sometimes leak in heavy rains. NO LIABILITY FOR ANYTHING STORED IN GARAGES (OR ANYWHERE ELSE) IS ASSUMED. RENTER'S INSURANCE REQUIRED. Laundry is card/coin-op and is on-site. Absolutely no dogs. Tenant pays gas & electric. Owner pays water and provides free high-speed wifi (no uptime guarantee). Garbage collection will soon be a paid service in San Diego due to a recent policy change, so when that happens the cost will be divided among the units.
