The Courtyards is a single-story condominium complex completed in 1988 that concentrates one-bedroom units around landscaped courtyards and water features. Buildings are low-rise, garden-style blocks with gated, secured entry and assigned underground parking; many residences open directly onto private patios or small balconies. Interiors commonly feature open, main-level floor plans, granite counters, built-in storage, fireplaces, in-unit laundry, recessed lighting, and walk-in closets; some units include oak or bamboo flooring, travertine tile, and marble accents. The community is arranged around multiple courtyards, ponds and walking paths with lawn, fountains and sitting areas plus a central clubhouse. Shared facilities are resort-oriented: two heated pools, hot tubs/spas (one rooftop), tennis courts, racquetball, fitness center, saunas, a rec room/library, dog-friendly trails, BBQ areas and firepit. Services include gated/guarded entry, underground designated parking (often two spaces), bicycle storage, EV charging at the garage, trash chute access and on-site maintenance. Located at the western edge of Mission Valley near Fashion Valley, the complex offers easy freeway and trolley access and is minutes from beaches, Mission Bay, USD and shopping centers.
