PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Exceptional Walkability & Location

    Situated in the highly desirable Marina District, offering unparalleled walkable access to the waterfront, Petco Park, Gaslamp Quarter, diverse dining, shopping, and entertainment.

  • Comprehensive Resort-Style Amenities

    The Horizons community provides a luxurious urban living experience with 24-hour security, concierge, fitness center, pool/spa, guest parking, and on-site management.

  • Rare Oversized Private Patio

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Substantial Monthly HOA Fees

    The monthly association fee of $1,840 is considerably high, which could be a significant ongoing expense for potential buyers.

  • Limited View

    While offering 'serene views overlooking Children’s Park,' it lacks the more coveted direct bay, ocean, or expansive city skyline views often associated with premium Marina District properties.

  • Potential for Urban Noise

    Given its prime downtown location near major attractions like Petco Park and the Gaslamp Quarter, the property may experience higher levels of urban noise, particularly during events or peak hours.
