Lemon Grove keeps things easy, laid-back, friendly, and far enough from the city buzz while keeping everything close. If you'd rather skip driving, you've got quick access to the 94 and 125 freeways and public transportation nearby. La Mesa's downtown is only five minutes away, and you can be in downtown San Diego in under 15. There are local parks, coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores, all within a short drive or walk.
