My mother was living at southern highlands for approximately 8 years until she passed away recently in March 2020. My mother suffered from many medical ailments. Prior to her stay at southern highlands, my mother lived alone in a two bedroom apartment. She was isolated and was hospitalized several times through out the year. That changed when she moved to southern highlands. Over the years, the property manager Michelle Washington and support staff played an integral role in my mothers stability. The vast upgrades to the complex which included connecting residents to an array of community resources

My husband & I lived here for over a year when we first moved to San Diego. We were broke and needed a place to live at that was good priced. This place accepted a certain amount of 21+ years who have no children. We appreciate Michelle's welcoming us to the building. This place was good to live at during that time period of our life. This place has a lot of choices for fast food, gas stations, grocery stores, etc.
