Built in 2003 (23 years old).
Condition: This condo, built in 2003, presents as move-in ready with several recent updates. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, sleek quartz-like countertops, a stylish arabesque backsplash, and contemporary black appliances, indicating a recent and significant renovation. The living areas benefit from fresh paint and dark wood-look flooring, while one bedroom has brand-new carpet, enhancing its appeal. Although the bathrooms are clean and functional, their tile countertops and vanity styles appear original or from an older renovation, showing signs of being outdated compared to the kitchen. However, they do not require immediate repair. The overall condition, including recent cosmetic updates and a modern kitchen, places it firmly in the 'Good' category, offering a comfortable and well-maintained living space without immediate renovation needs.

About this home

Discovery at Cortez Hill offers premium amenities including concierge service, 24-hour security, and a stunning rooftop deck with a lap pool, jacuzzi, cabanas, fire pits, BBQs, and panoramic views of San Diego. This freshly painted, 2-bed, 2-bath ground-level condo features brand-new carpet and combines downtown convenience with peaceful, residential living—perfect for families, pet owners, or anyone who prefers easy, stair-free access. Unlike many upper units that get full sun exposure and heat up quickly, this home enjoys natural shade and minimal direct sunlight, helping it stay cool and comfortable in the summer without running the A/C all day. Step outside to a rare, oversized private patio that opens to a lush community terrace—creating a serene, open-air feel rarely found in the city. The unit is also just steps from the building’s business center, library, and shared patio. Located just minutes from Balboa Park, Little Italy, and downtown—but tucked away in one of the city’s quietest, most desirable neighborhoods. Extremely dog-friendly, with one assigned parking space (G306) conveniently located near the entry gate and elevator.

Ground-Level Unit Trade-offs: While offering convenience, its ground-level position typically limits the panoramic views and abundant natural light often sought after in high-rise downtown living.
Absence of Explicit Air Conditioning: The description emphasizes natural cooling, but the lack of a clearly stated or featured air conditioning system could be a concern for comfort during peak summer temperatures for some buyers.
