Looking for a home in La Mesa?

This site is pretty awesome. The site is broken in up into communities by county, and each community has a feed with all the homes for sale in that area. Just one click and - homes! Finally a real estate company is putting some thought into the design of a site.
For example, if you were looking for East County homes, you might check out the La Mesa real estate page. You can find helpful information on the area, mortgage information and home valuations. This is so easy, I think my mother could use it!

A mirrored medicine cabinet offers additional storage to go along with the cabinets underneath the sink. The Bath/Shower combo has sliding doors, and the near-by towel rack will allow a coulple to have plenty of hanging space for linens.

Water Features and Landscaping Set the Tone

The water features found throughout the Lake Park community add to the tranquil ambiance with a constant sound of flowing water. Part of an award winning landscape, these fountains are integrated into an elaborate system of lagoons, small fountains and ponds running between buildings seperated by walkways on either side. It is easy to forget you are in the semi-arid desert climate of San Diego with the amount of water flowing around you!

Amenities

This is one of the five pools in the complex. All are completely gated, making the community a great place for children. All the amenities and landscaping are very well maintained- at any time there are members of a friendly staff taking care of the grounds ensuring residents a clean, comfortable place to call home.

Lake Murray, Mission Trails, Eucalyptus

Another view of the Lake Murray and Mission Trails. This is looking northwest, and the trails wrap around the lake here at its most southern point. The tall Eucalyptus trees can be found throughout the park adding not only an aesthetic appeal, but also giving off that faint fragrance that is so unique to the Australian tree.

Nice Flowers and a Starbucks

This is the entry to the Lake Park Condominium complex located off Baltimore Drive. Upon entering, you would have just driven past the guard gate. Now is as good of time as any to mention that between the the complex and Interstate 8 (the main freeway nearest the complex) lies a drive-through Starbucks.
