Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1996, the property is approximately 28 years old but presents in well-maintained, move-in ready condition. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and functional cabinetry, while the living area boasts modern flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows. It avoids a 'Fair' rating as it does not appear dated or in need of immediate repairs.
Perfectly situated between Cortez Hill and Little Italy, this property offers exceptional walkability to San Diego's premier dining, the Mercato farmers market, and Balboa Park.
The building features rare downtown perks including the only indoor racquetball court in a residential complex, secured guest parking, and a comprehensive wellness suite with a sauna and massage rooms.
The unit maximizes its footprint with floor-to-ceiling city views, rare gas cooking, and a built-in Murphy bed, complemented by a high-value incentive of no HOA fees for the first 12 months.
The monthly HOA fee of $762.11 is relatively high for a 523-square-foot studio, which may impact long-term affordability and investor cap rates once the initial incentive period ends.
With only 523 square feet of total space, the studio layout offers limited flexibility for residents requiring distinct separation between living, working, and sleeping areas.
NEW PRICE! MOTIVATED SELLER – PRICED TO SELL ASAP! Fresh off a $20,000 price reduction, this is officially downtown’s best value opportunity. Perfectly positioned between the historic charm of Cortez Hill and the vibrant culinary scene of Little Italy, this sleek, modern studio at Solara Lofts is the epitome of functional city living. The versatile, open-concept floor plan lives much larger than its footprint, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with expansive city views, a rare gas cooking range (a true downtown luxury), and a built-in Murphy bed that seamlessly transitions the space from a bright daytime office to a cozy evening retreat. To make your move entirely effortless, this unit can be sold fully furnished and comes complete with an in-unit washer/dryer, dedicated storage, and assigned parking. What truly sets Solara Lofts apart is its resort-style wellness suite. Enjoy a fully equipped fitness center, soothing sauna, private massage rooms, and the only indoor racquetball court in a downtown residential building. When hosting, the community lounge offers pool tables and the rarest find of all, secured guest parking for your visitors.
