Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1975, the unit is exceptionally clean and move-in ready, but the kitchen and bathroom are dated with older white appliances and basic cabinetry, fitting the criteria for a property over 20 years old needing modern updates.
Situated in the highly desirable Pacific Beach neighborhood, this property offers exceptional proximity to world-class beaches, Mission Bay, and a vibrant mix of dining and shopping.
As a top-floor unit, the vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows create an airy, spacious atmosphere that maximizes natural light, making the studio feel significantly larger than its footprint.
The Plaza provides an extensive amenity package including tennis courts, a gym, pool, spa, and sauna, offering a resort-style lifestyle that is rare at this price point.
The association fee of $726.53 is relatively high for a 420-square-foot studio, which may impact the debt-to-income ratio for buyers and overall investment yield.
At only 420 square feet, the compact studio layout may limit the buyer pool to individuals seeking a secondary residence or a minimalist lifestyle, as it lacks a private bedroom.
The best location within The Plaza and an exceptional opportunity to enter the Pacific Beach real estate market. Located on the top floor, this unit offers vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and surprisingly generous storage. The south-facing, private balcony invites in the ocean air while encouraging a dip in the pool and spa below. Additional community amenities include tennis courts, sauna, gym, billiards/ping-pong room, library, BBQs, & meeting spaces - all just minutes from world-class beaches, Mission Bay, dining and shopping. Your Pacific Beach home base. Enjoy the best of coastal San Diego living from this inviting studio residence. Thoughtfully designed for easy living, the open floor plan offers a full kitchen and bath with the flexibility to create distinct areas for sleeping, dining and entertaining. Beyond the residence, the community’s beautifully landscaped grounds and meandering pathways create a peaceful retreat from the energy of the urban setting. Secured assigned parking adds everyday convenience and makes coming and going effortless. Step outside the community and experience everything that makes Pacific Beach one of San Diego's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods - bohemian cafes, SUP yoga, co-working spaces, an outdoor lifestyle, and endless sunsets. A compelling opportunity for those looking to get into the market, own a piece of San Diego’s beach lifestyle, or love their lock-and-leave coastal retreat. Welcome to The Plaza.
