We are the Gateway to San Diego: The Hawthorne is a national historic landmark, huge flowering gardens, soaring ceilings, oversize windows, views to Mexico on a clear day, It looks just like when it was built. Huge decks, wide hallways, soaring ceilings .... a quiet building for serious professionals.....It overlooks the airport, and all of downtown....and the harbor....3 blocks to Balboa Park, two blocks to Little Italy, 1/2 mile to San Diego harbor.....lots of fun urban hikes.
