Built in 1980, this condo is well-maintained and clean, with some positive updates like newer kitchen appliances and recessed lighting in certain areas. However, the kitchen features dated black tile countertops and backsplash, and the bathrooms also exhibit older tile work and vanity styles. The mirrored wall in the living area further indicates an older aesthetic. While move-in ready, the property requires significant cosmetic updates in the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current buyer expectations and modern design standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Downtown Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Cortez Hill neighborhood, offering outstanding walkability to restaurants, cafés, Petco Park, and Balboa Park, coupled with quick freeway access.
Affordable & Value-Driven: Presents an affordable opportunity for downtown San Diego ownership, further enhanced by one of the lowest HOA fees in the area, providing significant value for city living.
Top-Floor Corner Unit Advantages: As a rare top-floor corner unit, it benefits from abundant natural light, enhanced privacy, city lights views, and access to a community rooftop terrace with broader views.
Key Modern Amenities: Features an open floor plan, convenient in-unit washer/dryer, and secure underground parking, catering to essential modern urban living needs.
VA-Approved Community & Broad Appeal: Located in a VA-approved community, broadening its market appeal to veterans, and generally well-suited for first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking an affordable alternative to renting.

Cons

Compact Living Area: With 664 sqft and a 1-bedroom layout, the unit may feel restrictive for individuals or couples desiring more expansive living space or additional rooms.
Building Age: Constructed in 1980, the building is over four decades old, which could imply dated common areas or potential for future capital expenditures not immediately apparent.
Potential for Urban Noise: Despite its top-floor position, the downtown location may expose residents to higher levels of urban noise, including traffic and city sounds.
