Most rentals give you a balcony. This one gives you a walled, gated, planted yard — and it's the biggest one here. You open your own gate to get home. No shared hallway, no neighbor overhead, no walking past five doors to reach yours. Single-story throughout. THE YARD: an extra-large private yard behind a new block-wall enclosure with a custom metal gate — the largest in the community. Arizona Blonde granite, agave, blooming bougainvillea, patio lighting, a covered porch and a mature shade tree. Room for a grill, a full patio set, and a dog who gets to actually be a dog.
