More Insights

Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1950, is explicitly marketed as a 'DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY' with the existing 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence described as 'obsolete' and 'likely requires demolition.' The listing emphasizes that the property's value lies in its land and potential for redevelopment, not the current structure. This aligns perfectly with the 'tear-down' criteria, indicating the structure is beyond repair and its value is solely based on the land.

About this home

**DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY**Positioned in the heart of San Diego’s highly desirable College Area, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for developers seeking density, flexibility, and long-term upside under the City of San Diego’s Complete Communities Housing Solutions program. The site is zoned RM 3–7 (Tier 2), allowing for the development of a multifamily apartment project with enhanced density potential. The lot features standard dimensions of approximately 50 feet of frontage by 127 feet of depth, offering an efficient and developer-friendly footprint for new construction. Currently improved with a 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-family residence, the property provides a clear path for redevelopment into a modern multifamily project designed to meet San Diego’s growing housing demand. Importantly, the property is located within a designated census tract that may qualify for low-income housing incentives and funding programs, creating a compelling opportunity for developers pursuing affordable or workforce housing. This added layer of potential financing support can significantly enhance project feasibility and returns. Located near major transit corridors, employment centers, San Diego State University, and neighborhood-serving amenities, the site aligns perfectly with the goals of Complete Communities—promoting smart growth, housing accessibility, and long-term value.

Potential for Financial Incentives: Located within a designated census tract that may qualify for low-income housing incentives and funding programs, significantly enhancing project feasibility and returns.

Cons

Obsolete Existing Structure: The current 1950-built, 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 882 sqft single-family residence is old, small, and likely requires demolition, adding to initial development costs.
Significant Capital Investment Required: As a development opportunity, it necessitates substantial financial outlay for demolition, design, and new multifamily construction, making it unsuitable for buyers seeking a turnkey solution.
Limited Appeal for Traditional Homebuyers: The property's primary value lies in its land and development potential, making it an impractical and likely overpriced option for a typical buyer seeking an immediate-occupancy single-family home.
