Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Downtown Location: Unbeatable access to major downtown attractions like Little Italy, Gaslamp Quarter, Petco Park, and Balboa Park, coupled with excellent freeway and airport connectivity, offering the best of urban living.
Extensive Luxury Amenities: The building provides a comprehensive suite of high-end amenities including a rooftop heated lap pool & spa with panoramic views, state-of-the-art fitness center, 24-hour security, and concierge service.
Modern & Well-Appointed Interior: Features sleek, contemporary finishes, an open floor plan, abundant natural light, a chef-inspired kitchen with granite countertops, and thoughtful details like custom blackout shades and a gas fireplace.
Private Balcony & Views: Offers a generous 108 sqft private balcony providing outdoor serenity and natural privacy with neighborhood and tree views, complemented by access to panoramic city views from the building's rooftop.
Valuable Inclusions: Comes with a deeded underground parking space, an individual storage unit, and a full-size stacked washer/dryer, adding significant convenience and value for urban residents.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The $1,163 monthly association fee is substantial and could be a deterrent for some buyers, impacting the overall affordability and long-term cost of ownership.
Lack of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: While San Diego's climate is mild, the absence of explicit mention of central air conditioning could be a concern for comfort during warmer periods, especially in a luxury unit.
Potential for Urban Noise: Despite being in a 'quiet' downtown neighborhood, its proximity to major attractions and freeways suggests potential for ambient city noise, which might detract from the promised tranquility for sensitive buyers.
