Living in a mild climate gives us San Diego residents a unique opportunity for year-round outdoor living that much of the rest of the world cannot enjoy. As a result, outdoor family rooms are becoming a popular home trend. It’s become especially common in the Del Sur community homes, which is why you may hear the builder refer to this area as the “Del Sur Room”.
The outdoor living room is usually walled in on 2 or 3 sides and is covered with a roof, with an open wall on the remaining side(s). This allows you to enjoy the fresh air and scenery of your backyard without being too exposed to the elements. The beauty of your outdoor living room is that you have the freedom to do with it as you wish: design your “Del Sur Room” to fit your lifestyle!
