Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1975, this property is nearly 50 years old. While the interior appears clean and functional with vaulted ceilings, the finishes (such as the carpeting and fixtures) are dated and there is no evidence of a recent renovation to the kitchen or bathroom, fitting the criteria for a property >20 years old needing updates.
Situated in the heart of Pacific Beach, this property offers exceptional walkability to the beach, Mission Bay, and a vibrant array of local cafes, restaurants, and shopping.
As a top-floor, south-facing unit with vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows, the residence maximizes natural light and privacy while offering pleasant views of the pool and landscaping.
The Plaza provides a comprehensive amenity package including multiple pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, sauna, and secured garage parking, offering a high-value lifestyle for residents.
The association fee of $726.53 is notably high for a 420-square-foot studio, which significantly impacts the monthly carrying costs and overall affordability for potential buyers.
With only 420 square feet of interior space, the studio layout offers very restricted living and storage areas, which may limit the property's appeal to long-term owner-occupants.
