Downtown San Diego Real Estate

Just ten years ago, San Diego's downtown was bordering on dilapidation. But recent developments there have made it one of the most dynamic city centers on the West Coast, bringing in a brand new ballpark for the San Diego Padres, creating a unique shopping experience with the architectural award-winning Horton Plaza and expanding the city's cultural opportunities. Following in the path of all this renovation is a real estate phenomenon. The skyline is changing as luxury apartment buildings and condominiums are built up along the waterfront, drawing people into what used to be a neighborhood to avoid. Downtown San Diego is in the midst of a renaissance.

There's a place to live downtown for everyone. The new highrises are ideal for those who like to live in the lap of luxury. With stunning views of both downtown and the waterfront, they are highly coveted property and popular with the city's powerful and elite.

For those who wish to live somewhere with a bit more history, the Gaslamp Quarter offers renovated lofts in historic buildings, close to the action of San Diego after dark. Banker's Hill, overlooking downtown, is a great option for those who want to be near their jobs but in a quiet neighborhood after work.

Downtown is the center of San Diego's action and culture. The Civic Theater and the Spreckles Theater are the two major performing arts venues in the city; the San Diego Children's Theater is also here. The Museum of Contemporary Art complements the museums clustered in nearby Balboa Park, and Petco Park draws in sports enthusiasts and proud San Diegans to cheer on the National League's Padres.

If you're looking to live in the heart of it all, definitely consider investing in real estate downtown. Single family homes here sell for an average of $730,000, and condominiums go for about $610,000. The average price of a single family or condo home sold in February 2006 was $680,811.
