As a general rule, most 55+ retirement communities in San Diego are single-story homes. Many seniors prefer single story to 2-story homes for various reasons:

No stairs – most seniors just aren’t interested in dealing with stairs which can pose potential hazards for themselves and even young grandchildren.
