Live / Work Housing Blog by Frank Crowley, Keller Williams Realtor
With the environment and quality of life balance in mind, many builders are creating new ways of living. Or rather, returning to an urban lifestyle of generations past.
These communities offer a combination of both retail business and residences within the same unit or building. One appeal is to eliminate commuting which opens vast amounts of time to enjoy a personal lifestyle and our great environment here in San Diego.
1010 Oceanside, a live/work building at 550 Seagaze Drive, was once the home of Pacific Bell facility but has been refurbished to now offer luxury loft suites for business licensed short term lease. Future sales may again be permitted depending upon the housing market. The building is managed by the same corporation as 1010 Wilshire in Los Angeles which offers the same amenities for the mixed-use environment.
Another downtown Oceanside complex offers condominium living with ground floor office space with business limitations, as all the live/work complexes have.
A Carlsbad company is presently selling units at the Bluwater Crossing complex near the Poinsettia Coaster Station. The 78 unit residential-commercial complex offers many retail units on the ground floor of the condominium complex. Bluwater Crossing will permit sign advertising within the complex to facilitate walk-in retail traffic.
Downtown San Diego has several choices in the category of live/work or commonly known as artist lofts. Google and Craig’s list will give a current list of available complexes.
The work/live concept gives a feel of long ago urban neighborhoods. The total design concept attempts to take automobile use out of the list of necessities for suburban living. With community minded planning leading to a stress free lifestyle, giving a closer friendly feel with your neighbors and clientele.
