Stunning project inside and out. Rainford is a development in Mission Hills that, despite its small lot size, maximizes the space while respecting the community, a 100+ unit project that blends beautifully into the surrounding Mission Hills. Design nods to both the craftsman and art nouveau movements and pays homage to the legacy of San Diego. It offers beautiful views of the skyline from the rooftop deck and the name offers an homage to Alice Rainford who worked closely with the visionary, Kate Sessions, who changed the face of San Diego. The impeccable styling transforms the space from another apartment building to a place where people would want to live. Despite some long time Mission Hills grumps (residents), it’s a wonderful— and much needed— addition to the neighborhood.
