Downtown San Diego real estate

 
...  invest in a harbor view condo where the nightlife and action is, moor your boat close by  so you can take off at a moments notice. 

Walk to a huge array of restaurant in the upscale Gaslamp district.

Boating is a San Diego phenomenon, around 50,000 boats are registered to San Diegan's!

The Victorian section has been restored and renamed the Gaslamp district, a model of what downtown redevelopment should be. Dilapidated buildings and neighborhoods have given way to upscale hotels, condominiums, restaurants, shopping centers and night spots.

Very trendy and full of restaurants, outdoor cafes, bars, antique stores, galleries, lofts, night clubs, brick sidewalks and of course gas lamps. 

The City of San Diego

Home to the Chargers and Padres, is the 6th most populous city in the US with a population 1,197,676 (1990 census).

The city's relationship with the ocean gives it a special character. If you are from the East Coast or Midwest, San Diego will strike you as clean; most western cities are as they evolved after the Industrial Revolution. 

Embarcadero Marine Park on North Harbor Drive is a 22 acre man made park extending into the bay with great views of the marina. Open air concerts are staged here in the summer.

If you like boats you should also check out Coronado

A new Padres baseball stadium on some 26 downtown blocks is due to open April 2004

The redevelopment will include new offices, shops and apartment buildings and should make a huge improvement to that part of town. 

Horton Plaza is San Diego's third most popular tourist attraction (behind the Zoo and Sea World). There are 150 or so stores (the goliaths being Nordstrom's, Macy's and Mervyn's) covering 6-1/2 city blocks (that's 11-1/2 acres!), divided up into seven different levels.

Bay-side Seaport Village shopping center is a twist on the Cape Cod tradition with open air eating and specialty shops.

The city's largest theater, Civic Theater, the 1929 Symphony Hall, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the San Diego Children's Theater, the circa 1911 Spreckles Theater, the new San Diego Convention Center, the Central Library, the San Diego Cruise Terminal, The Star of India and its Maritime Museum are just a few of downtown's other important residents.

Balboa Park has many museums including the San Diego Natural History Museum, Museum of Man, Museum of Art, Automotive Museum, Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater & Science Center, the Museum of San Diego History. The San Diego Zoo is also here. Many of the county's best hotels are here including the Marriott Hotel & Marina, Pan Pacific, Embassy Suites, U.S. Grant, Horton Grand and Hyatt Regency.

Downtown is the city's transportation center with the Santa Fe Depot train station, Lindbergh Field, the area's major airport, and the San Diego Trolley's main station which connects downtown with the Mexican border, Old town and Qualcomm Stadium.

The twin towers of the Harbor Club The Harbor Club at 100 Harbor Drive is a pair of high rise towers with upscale condos. There are many smaller high rise buildings many of them with views of the bay.
