About this home

THERE IS NO OPEN HOUSE THIS WEEK!Welcome to 6816 Caminito Montanoso Unit 5, an inviting townhome tucked within one of San Diego’s most beloved neighborhoods San Carlos. Inside, you’ll find the perfect blend of comfort and practicality: an in-unit washer and dryer, a private rear patio, a front balcony that captures the morning light, and a detached two-car garage. The community itself offers two sparkling pools, a clubhouse for gatherings, two tennis courts and generous guest parking all maintained by a well-run HOA that keeps the area peaceful, clean, and connected. The HOA amount is $557 per month. Step outside and discover why San Carlos is cherished by locals. Nestled between Cowles Mountain and Lake Murray, the neighborhood blends outdoor adventure with a true sense of community. Weekend mornings bring families to the local farmers market, hikers to the trails of Mission Trails Regional Park, and neighbors together for block parties and seasonal celebrations. The San Carlos Recreation Center and nearby Lake Murray Park offer endless opportunities for sports, picnics, and lakeside walks. Families appreciate the highly rated schools: Green Elementary, Pershing Middle, and Patrick Henry High School, with higher-education options like San Diego State University and Grossmont College only minutes away. Private and charter schools, including The Charter School of San Diego, add even more choice. Everyday essentials are within reach shopping at Grossmont Center, neighborhood dining, and quick access to hospitals and local conveniences. With easy routes to the 8, 125, and 94 freeways, you’re minutes from Downtown, La Mesa, or Mission Valley while still enjoying a quiet, residential feel. San Carlos offers a lifestyle defined by balancing the tranquility of the suburbs with the vibrancy of San Diego living. Unit 5 is more than a home; it’s an invitation to join a community that values connection, nature, and everyday ease. This is a rare opportunity to own a street-facing unit with no neighbor directly behind you, in front of you, or to the right of you. This is privacy, convenience, all wrapped up in a price tag of $649,999. Do not miss your chance! These units are almost never available for sale.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Community & Location: Situated in San Carlos, a highly desirable San Diego neighborhood known for its strong community, outdoor recreation (Cowles Mountain, Lake Murray, Mission Trails), and suburban tranquility with urban vibrancy.
Abundant Unit Amenities & Privacy: Features a private rear patio, front balcony, in-unit laundry, and a detached two-car garage. The unit also boasts rare privacy with no direct neighbors behind, in front, or to the right.
Comprehensive Community Facilities: Residents benefit from two sparkling pools, a clubhouse, two tennis courts, and ample guest parking, all managed by a well-run HOA.
Top-Tier School District: Zoned for highly-rated public schools including Green Elementary (9), Pershing Middle (6), and Patrick Henry High School (8), plus proximity to higher education.
Strategic Accessibility: Offers convenient access to major freeways (8, 125, 94), placing Downtown, La Mesa, and Mission Valley within minutes, alongside local shopping, dining, and essential services.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The $557 monthly HOA fee is substantial and could impact affordability and long-term ownership costs.
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1980, the property is over 40 years old. While the community is well-maintained, the interior may require significant updates or renovations to meet modern standards, as no recent upgrades are mentioned.
Limited Interior Detail: The listing description provides extensive detail on the community and exterior features but lacks specific information regarding interior finishes, condition, or recent renovations, which could imply a need for buyer investment.
