Poorgradstudent, this condo is lot closer to the beach than mira mesa.
Check it out on a map as to where it is.
I know this condo place. It is the one to your right just as you are coming down the hill on Torrey Pines road. It is NOT a 5 min walk to the beach the way it is advertised on the sdlookup site.
Also, if I am not mistaken, this was an apartment complex that got converted to condos.
Also, it gets very busy on this section of Torrey Pines, so if you plan on commuting to La Jolla village, Towne Center, Medical centers by Lebon Dr or to the UCSD a bike ride would be lot better than driving. However, do not forget that you have to haul yourself up that hill.
