Camden Hillcrest is a multi-family community located at San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood’s highest elevation, providing unbeatable views of Mission Valley and beyond to the ocean.

Duane Border, as Principal of Duane Border Design, created a landscape design built around a desire for an active, restorative community immersed in the natural wonder of San Diego native canyons.

The landscape design draws from the surrounding hillsides to bring the native landscape to the daily lives of residents and visitors.

Site amenities include hillside trails, entertainment courts, seating terraces, off leash dog park, and native gardens, as well as pool and infinity spa, complete with cabanas and ocean views.

Planting design was developed to accommodate San Diego City and County fire safety standards and introduces residents to the delicate balance of living in a sensitive microclimate, while also settling the project into its natural surroundings.
