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.
