Property Description

This beautifully remodeled seventh-floor pied-à-terre radiates charm, light, and historic character. The one-bedroom, one-bath residence features soaring 9-foot windows that frame stunning views of the Balboa Park Tower. Beyond the elegant double-door entry, the bedroom offers a serene retreat and connects to a spacious, custom-designed walk-in closet. Comfort is enhanced by central heating and air conditioning, a Nest thermostat, and effortless elevator access. One convenient parking space is also included. Steeped in history, the iconic 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival El Cortez building delivers resort-style amenities within a welcoming, pet-friendly community known for its warm camaraderie. Residents enjoy a second-floor terrace with BBQ and lounge areas, a sparkling pool and spa, a fully equipped fitness center, secure bike storage, EV charging, underground parking, and attentive on-site management. Each floor provides community laundry; on the seventh level, only three residences share these facilities, ensuring convenience and privacy. Situated atop charming Cortez Hill, this home offers easy access to San Diego’s most beloved destinations — Balboa Park, Petco Park, Little Italy, the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, the harbor, and the airport — blending classic architecture with modern urban living. Adding even more appeal, this unit benefits from Mills Act approval, providing significant property tax savings that transfer automatically to the new owner. At El Cortez, you’re not just purchasing a home — you’re joining a living legacy. Discover elevated downtown living
