Leasing is underway, and the first residents have moved in.
Luma at El Corazon consists of 23 three-story buildings with a mix of 113 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom and 35 three-bedroom apartments surrounding a stylish recreation center and pool complex.

Recreational amenities at Luma include a beautifully furnished club room with a demonstration kitchen and adjoining covered patio overlooking the pool area, a conference room and an indoor/outdoor fitness center with cardio and weights.

Contemporary-styled apartments, ranging from 691 to 1,440 square feet, feature stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, quartz countertops in kitchens and baths, wood-style flooring and in-unit washers and dryers.
In keeping with the overall architectural theme of El Corazon, the design of Luma has been influenced by Irving Gill, a noted architect and leader of the early 20th-century modernist movement, who designed the Oceanside City Hall and Fire Station. Luma at El Corazon reflects the clean angular lines, ground-level arches and breezeways Gill is known for.
Residents at Luma enjoy easy access to El Corazon’s recreational amenities. The adjacent William A. Wagner Aquatic Center features a 56-meter competitive pool and offers classes, recreational swimming, and lap swimming. El Corazon also includes two hiking trails, the El Corazon Senior Center and the SoCal Sports Complex.
Luma at El Corazon is also adjacent to Frontwave Arena, which is home to the San Diego Sockers and San Diego Clippers and hosts concerts, family shows, and other events. Developed by the San Diego Sockers, Sudberry Properties and private investors, the 170,000-square-foot arena features 16 luxury suites, eight bars, three spacious VIP viewing decks, two exclusive lounges and an open-air patio with panoramic sunset views.
