<h2>Downtown San Diego</h2>
<p><em>Going, going</em>, <strong>GONE!</strong></p>
<p>Well, here we are approaching June 2012; and as predicted, entry level priced properties in the Downtown San Diego Zip Code 92101 are almost totally extinct!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mammoth_side.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12792" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mammoth_side-300x177.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="177" /></a>Soon we may be talking about $200,000 condos in the Downtown area in the same context as the <a href="http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2009/feb/05/1m5mammoth233314-mammoth-discovery/" target="_blank">skeletal remains of the wooly mammoth </a>that were found in the East Village a few years back&#8230;.   Both topics make for great conversations from a snapshot in Downtown&#8217;s History.</p>
<h3>Downtown San Diego Market Snapshot Under $300,000</h3>
<p>So, I found it very interesting in pulling <strong><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/" target="_blank">Downtown Properties For Sale Under $300,000</a></strong>.  I was a little surprised to see that the number was a whopping 11!</p>
<p>What does this mean?</p>
<p>Well, by expanding the search to Active + Sold Properties in Downtown that have closed within the past 90 days, I came up with 79.  That means that there have been 68 sales under $300,000 with an average of 22 per month!</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>In other words, we have approximately an 8 day supply of inventory in the $300,000 or less category!</p></blockquote>
<p>Shocking isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<h3>Buying Tips For Downtown San Diego Condos Under $300,000.</h3>
<p>1.  Have your pre-approval letter (if financing) and proof of funds for your down payment and closing costs ready to go.</p>
<p>2.  Have a knowledgeable and proactive agent who will notify you once the right property hits the market.  <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><em>Time is of the essence!</em></strong></span></p>
<p>3.  Be ready to to put pen to paper, and in all likelihood, be prepared to come in ABOVE asking price&#8230;  Particularly if you are financing or competing for a really good property.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/about-us/meet-our-team/" target="_blank">Our team</a> has a new 2-bedroom listing in The Egyptian.  This <a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/listings/Real-Estate-For-Sale/120026632/Hillcrest/Egyptian/3812-Park/Unit-314.html#img0" target="_blank">Egyptian beauty</a> has 1436 square feet, and is located in the heart of Hillcrest featuring 9’ ceilings, hardwood floors, 20” tiles with diagonally cut granite inlays, custom lighting, and an abundance of windows where light shines bright throughout!</p>
<p>This immaculate home has an open floor plan from a formal entry to kitchen, living, dining, and 6’x11’ balcony with northwest city views to Jacaranda trees in full bloom. It offers split bedrooms for privacy, and master bath highlights include marble accents, dual vanity, and walk-in closet. The walls are smooth with custom paint in neutral tones, and kitchen boasts current-day essentials: stainless sink and appliances, granite countertops and gas range.</p>
<h2>The Egyptian &#8211; The Building</h2>
<p>The Egyptian encompasses 80 residential condominiums of stylish, contemporary design. This 7-story building, constructed of concrete and steel, and cool, green glass is named after the historic <a href="http://www.sandiegohistory.org/collections/theaters/theaters.htm" target="_blank">Fox Egyptian Theater of 1931</a> as pieces of the original theater are incorporated into the design creating a visually inspiring masterpiece. The developer, <a href="http://citymark.com/" target="_blank">City Mark </a>is genius in creating a perfect blend of old and new, utilizing such pieces as the original box office, Egyptian carvings from the exterior facade, rod iron gates, and “the dungeon”, a basement that was once used for storing films. City Mark effectively built intriguing, ultra modern urban residences while beautifully assimilating the character of the old theater.</p>
<p>Architectural details include double walls and airspace between units, and 8” of airspace between floors for quiet, peaceful living. The lobby is delightfully imaginative with textured concrete walls, tall aluminum trees, ceiling flower lights, multi-colored tiles, and large aluminum planters.</p>
<h3>Hillcrest &#8211; Metro San Diego</h3>
<p>The building is situated between Balboa Park and central<a href="http://www.sandiego.org/article_set/Visitors/8/116" target="_blank"> Hillcrest</a> just steps to vibrant city life and attractions like <a href="http://www.sandiegozoo.org/" target="_blank">San Diego Zoo</a>, Old Globe Theatre, museums, Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joes, and Starbucks, and where the neighborhood offers an endless supply of shopping, dining, art, culture, music, yoga, and much more. 2 parking spaces included.</p>

<h2>Brazilian Steak House- San Diego</h2>
<p>I have often walked by <strong><a href="http://www.reidogado.net/" target="_blank">Rei do Gado-Brazilian Grill</a></strong> wanting to give it a try out of curiosity.  I had heard many great things, so I finally walked over there for lunch, and I wasn&#8217;t disappointed!  The food was fantastic, and it kept on coming until I couldn&#8217;t take another bite&#8230;</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>Next time I&#8217;ll remember to wear elastic waistband pants!</p></blockquote>
<p>Upon entering the restaurant, I was welcomed by one of the friendly associates who explained the menu and how it worked.  Basically the lunch menu offers an elaborate soup &amp;  salad bar that featured some ethnic items like marinated vegetables, and feijoada, a black bean soup that I found to be particularly delicious.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12735" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>The waiter suggested that I grab an extra plate because the servers come around to your table with a variety of about 15 types of meats and hand carve them for you at your table.   Let me tell you, I made good use of the extra plate!</p>
<p>Some of the stand out meats that I enjoyed were the bacon wrapped fillet mignon, Presunto e abacaxi ( ham and pineapple with cinnamon), Coxa de frango ( boneless chicken with cheese), and Linguica (hand made pork sausage).  Everything I tried was delicious, and for $19.50 per person lunch price (11am-2:00pm), you really can&#8217;t beat it.  I certainly didn&#8217;t need to eat dinner after stuffing myself!</p>
<p>The churasco (Brazilian Barbeque) is a traditional feast that has been celebrated in Brazil for centuries.   It is a unique and healthy way of roasting meat over a mesquite flame that preserves tenderness, and gives it a distinctive and incredible flavor.</p>
<p>I hear that the dinner menu is even more extensive, with crab legs, and other seafood dishes.  Dinners are served after 4:00pm and they range from $42-$48.00 per person, depending on what day you choose to dine.</p>
<p>I was very pleased with my visit, and of course wondered why I hadn&#8217;t explored this South American cuisine sooner.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jackalope1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-12740" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jackalope1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The fact that they had a <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackalope" target="_blank">Jackalope</a></strong> mounted on the wall, warmed my heart as well&#8230;</p>
<p>I will certainly be back!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/gallery/avatars/blogavatarmargaret.png"  alt="hoa-fees-in-downtown-san-diego-condos" />
<p>Recently, while searching for homes in an area outside of downtown, San Diego, I wanted to find out if <strong>HOA fees</strong> covered a home’s septic tank on a large piece of land in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_unit_development" target="_blank">planned unit development</a>. Particularly, I needed to know if the dues covered maintenance on the septic tank. This was important information for my client as septic tanks can be very costly. As it turns out, the septic tank was not covered. It’s unusual to find <a href="http://www.dre.ca.gov/sub_hoa.html" target="_blank">homeowner’s associations</a> in rural properties, but virtually all <a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/listings/featured" target="_blank">downtown condominiums</a> have them.</p>
<p>I am sure buyers interested in downtown, San Diego condos searching for homes would like to know how HOA fees are spent, and for what they provide as they are a factor of one’s monthly savings and/or expenses.</p>
<p>Fees differ among residential buildings because of varying amenities and services, and range from $175 &#8211; $1700 per month. There are a handful of buildings on both sides of this price range, however, most fall between $400 and $800 per month.</p>
<h2>HOA Fees cover Amenities and Household Expenses</h2>
<p>Typically, in downtown San Diego, <strong>HOA dues</strong> cover building and roof maintenance, common area landscaping, hot water, gas, trash pick-up, security, sewer, and upkeep of resident amenities. Resident amenities may include any one of the following but differ among buildings: a swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, steam room, security, concierge, community room, sauna, parking, valet parking, and cable TV services. Generally, dues are higher in buildings that provide a greater number of services and amenities.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/san-diego-neighborhoods/condos-for-sale-downtown-san-diego/cortez-hill/palermo-san-diego/#img0" target="_blank">Palermo</a> complex in Little Italy is unique, and popular because of its many amenities and moderate HOA dues; a 2-bedroom unit in Palermo pays $290-$300 per month and includes a swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, community room, secure parking, trash pick-up, sewer and common area maintenance.</p>
<p>Lusso Lofts and Moto Villas are at the lower end of the range at $178-$200 per month with no amenities and HOA fees covering common area maintenance. <a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/san-diego-neighborhoods/condos-for-sale-downtown-san-diego/marina/meridian-san-diego/#img0" target="_blank">The Meridian</a> and The Metropolitan are at the higher end of this price range at $1,100-1,700 per month with Meridian amenities including parking attendants and doormen, and The Metropolitan having maid and room service.</p>
<p>Marina Park and Smart Corner include <a href="http://ww2.cox.com/residential/sandiego/home.cox" target="_blank">cable TV services</a> as part of their HOA dues. Smart Corner’s high tech security system is connected to the cable TV service where homeowners’ can view the common area entrance from their television screen, and permit guests to enter the building from their television remote.</p>
<h3>Above and Beyond &#8211; HOA Dues cover additional luxuries</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/san-diego-neighborhoods/condos-for-sale-downtown-san-diego/little-italy/aquavista-san-diego/#img0" target="_blank">Acqua Vista</a> offers valet parking, a mandatory service at no extra charge. Tipping is not permitted.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/san-diego-neighborhoods/condos-for-sale-downtown-san-diego/columbia-the-waterfront/electra-san-diego/#img0" target="_blank">Electra</a>, Pinnacle, and The Grande provide concierge service, offering residents’ assistance with dry-cleaning, transportation, receiving packages, and welcoming guests. HOA fees in these buildings range from $725 to $900+ per month depending on square footage.</p>
<p>If you’re searching downtown condos, and want to know what services and amenities are included in HOA fees, please feel free to give me a call (619) 246-8400.</p>

<p><img id="il_fi" class="alignright" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BaysidevsGrande.png" alt="" width="285" height="286" />The average cost per square foot among listings at <strong>Bayside</strong> is currently $872/sf.  This is greatly skewed by the two penthouses, which are among the most expensive and valuable properties in Downtown San Diego.  Removing these the average cost per square foot among listings is $793.</p>
<p>Sold <strong>Bayside San Diego Condos </strong>have averaged $523/sf.  This is 66% of the average of list prices.  Clearly, there is a variety of floorplans and views available at Bayside, and &#8220;averages&#8221; don&#8217;t accurately address the gap between current listings and their comps among condos sold over the past 12 months.</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>Some comps among Bayside Condos</p></blockquote>
<p>Bayside #3005 is a &#8220;penthouse level&#8221; floorplan of almost 1,900 square feet.  On the buildings northwest corner, its view is among the best in town. At $1,525,000 ($808/sf), a buyer and seller came together after the property was listed for 57 days.</p>
<p>#2901 was the last <strong>Bayside Condo</strong> sold by Bosa.  It is an 1,860 sf apartment, with 2 master suites.  Its view is directly west facing.  The sale price was $1,235,000 ($663/sf).   And the 9th floor resale, #904, was sold at $442/sf.</p>
<p>These are particularly relevant when looking at a property like #901, which is currently listed at $1,150,000 ($635/sf). It is exactly the same footprint&#8211;although 50 feet smaller&#8211;20 stories below the sale at #2901.  But the asking price is only $85,000 less!  And the cost per square foot is 50% higher than the recent 9th floor sale.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at alternatives.</p>
<h1>Downtown San Diego Grande Condo</h1>
<p><strong>The <a title="The-grande-san-diego-condo" href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/san-diego-neighborhoods/condos-for-sale-downtown-san-diego/columbia-the-waterfront/the-grande-at-santa-fe-place-san-diego/#img0" target="_blank">Grande Condo </a></strong>preceded Bayside in the <strong>San Diego Columbia District</strong> by 4-5 years, and is located 1 block south.  <strong>The Grande&#8217;s</strong> two towers are anchors of the San Diego Skyline.</p>
<p>Bosa built <strong>The Grande</strong> in 2004 and 2005 as the benchmark of high end condo living in San Diego&#8211;however, they clearly went to a higher level at Bayside.  Every two bedroom condo at <strong>The Grande</strong> has a west facing view to The Embarcadero and beyond!  The larger floorplans have progressively better views.</p>

<p>At The Grande, current listings average $602/sf, while sold properties over the past 6 months have averaged $497.  Prices of current listings seem far more in line with recent sales than at Bayside.</p>
<p>It is noteworthy in all of this statistical analysis that the Downtown San Diego real estate market is seeing greater activity and a slow rise in prices.</p>
<h2>Buying Columbia District San Diego Condos</h2>
<p>There has been a real shift in the value proposition in these two condos.  And recent resales in The Grande seem to indicate a new perception of value.</p>
<p>Current listings in Bayside are listed at prices that don&#8217;t approximate past sales&#8211;and are certainly much higher than prices at The Grande.  Certainly arranging showings in both buildings and making your own comparisons is time well spent.</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>The Bayside Penthouses</p></blockquote>
<p>The exception to this blog&#8217;s perception of Bayside being overpriced is Bosa&#8217;s 2 remaining unsold penthouses.  Penthouse #3403 and #3302 are both listed in excess of $1,000/sf ($3.3 to $3.4 mil).  However, past sales indicate that a price reduction in excess of $150/sf can be negotitated.</p>
<p>The market for <strong>Downtown</strong> <strong>San Diego penthouses</strong> has been surprisingly weak.  These properties are simply exceptional and should be swept up!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time for another look at <strong>Columbia District</strong> resales.  Come down and have a look!</p>

<h2>Downtown San Diego</h2>
<p>The East Village:  A neighborhood with vast diversity in culture, lifestyle, entertainment, and dining choices. In the latter category;  <a href="http://www.thevillageat631.com/" target="_blank"><strong>The Village @ 631</strong> </a>has come into it&#8217;s own as a local hot-spot for farm-to-fork cuisine, organically grown coffee and teas, and now craft beer and wines.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/555285_10151701819915500_129721720499_23950909_561856021_n.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-12700" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/555285_10151701819915500_129721720499_23950909_561856021_n-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The space was previously operated as Java Jones Coffee House, but was unable to survive among the larger big name coffee chains. The space did have a loyal following, but unfortunately not enough to keep the doors open.  Since then, new owners have moved in, along with an incredibly expanded menu that is starting to draw much deserved attention to a great new neighborhood eatery and coffee house.</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>The Village @ 631- Fresh food and ideas, as diverse as the neighborhood in which it resides.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Village-Restaurant-East-Village.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12681" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Village-Restaurant-East-Village-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="183" /></a>The Village @ 631 has a personality all of it&#8217;s own, which has evolved dramatically over the past 12 months.  Cynthia Hillman, the owner and visionary behind the Village @ 631, recruited a renown chef from the Lodge at Torrey Pines, breathing new life into the little neighborhood coffee shop.  When entering, you immediately are drawn to its open and inviting atmosphere.  The space is tastefully decorated, complimenting the industrial brick walls and exposed beam character of the building.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thevillageat631.com/Village%20Menu%208.5x14.pdf" target="_blank">The Menu at the Village @ 631</a></strong> focuses on Breakfast and Lunch.  All breakfast entrees include seasonal fresh fruit, and range from creative omlettes and scrambles, to quiches and health conscious dishes.  The breakfast menu is ever-changing, and will often include chef&#8217;s specials, served daily from 7:00am- 1:00pm.</p>
<p>The lunch menu offers a variety of salads and hot &amp; cold sandwiches, and is moderately priced, for the quality ingredients being offered.  I like the fact that you can add delicious options to your salads like marinated flank steak, or roasted garden vegetables.</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>The desserts and pastries are to die for&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Everything is from scratch, and it shows.  I have a personal weakness for cookies, and as a self proclaimed cookie connoisseur, I can tell you that The Village @ 631 has some of the most interesting and delicious cookies I have ever tasted!  Among my favorites are the salty/ sweet sensation of sea salt-white chocolate chip cookies.  I also loved the hand dipped macaroons that are not only massive, but they taste amazing.  Both are a perfect compliment to a delicious cup of slow brewed organic coffee.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Reggae Brunch at The Village @ 631</h3>
<p>Looking for &#8220;Positive Vibrations&#8221; on your Sunday morning?  The Village @ 631 now has Live Reggae music to add to their fantastic Sunday Brunch!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/564772_300839549992754_171052212971489_688650_1493337485_n.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-12674" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/564772_300839549992754_171052212971489_688650_1493337485_n-266x300.jpg" alt="" width="266" height="300" /></a>Unlike any other breakfast venue in Downtown, you can enjoy the sounds from the Caribbean.  A relaxing kick start to a Sunday morning with $2.00 mimosa glasses, or if you are feeling really festive, purchase a pitcher for $10.00.</p>
<p>There are also craft beer specials, like $4.00 Maui Coconut Porter cans.  I think that this is going to be a big hit that will put this great little neighborhood eatery on the map.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/about-us/meet-our-team/" target="_blank">The Welcome To San Diego Team</a></strong> often features The Village @ 631 as one of the stops on their Downtown Lifestyle &amp; Real Estate Tours every Saturday.  Cynthia Hillman personally tells her story and offers delicious samplings for our guests.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/swim-lessons.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12687" title="swim lessons" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/swim-lessons.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="144" /></a>Summer is fast-approaching and warm weather means lots of fun in the sun and water. I’m hoping to get my little guy out on a surf board this summer, but not without some solid swim lessons first. There are a lot of great <strong>swim lesson</strong> options available in <strong>San Diego</strong>.</p>
<p>I rely on <strong>Yelp</strong> and the reviews of other <strong>San Diegans</strong> for restaurants and other services, so it seemed like a good place to start. According to <strong>Yelp</strong>, the following are among the highest ranked <strong>swim lessons</strong> in <strong>San Diego</strong>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.missionvalley.ymca.org/" target="_blank">Mission Valley YMCA</a></strong> is the <strong>highest rated</strong> and within a few minutes on their website it’s easy to see that the <strong><a href="http://www.missionvalley.ymca.org/yprog/cat25.html" target="_blank">Youth Aquatics program</a></strong> has a lot to offer. <strong>Infant/Toddler</strong> classes for 3-48 months-old, <strong>preschool</strong> classes for 3-5 year olds, <strong>youth classes</strong> for 6-13 year olds, <strong>swim team</strong> and <strong>private lessons</strong> are available.

<h2>Downtown San Diego</h2>
<p>An extremely rare and unique property has just hit the Downtown San Diego Condo market that is unlike anything else I have ever seen&#8230;.</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/san-diego-neighborhoods/condos-for-sale-downtown-san-diego/little-italy/350-west-ash-san-diego/#img0" target="_blank">350 West Ash </a></strong>community is on the modest side compared to other luxury towers; however, it hosts a incredibly unique penthouse that I would consider being the <strong>Ultimate Downtown San Diego Bachelor Pad!</strong></p>
<p>The 350 West Ash Building is the physical address of the property as well as the name of the community complex.  The complex is one of 2 developments in all of Downtown San Diego that falls into the category of  &#8221;Adaptive-Reuse.&#8221;  Adaptive Reuse is the process of reusing the existing frame, and completing a &#8220;gut-rehab&#8221; of the entire structure.  This is heavy duty commercial grade type 1 construction, now &#8220;reused&#8221; or reconstructed as a residential tower&#8230;</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>In other words; 350 West Ash could be considered a &#8220;GREEN&#8221; building.</p></blockquote>
<h3><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Penthouse-350-West-As.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12502" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Penthouse-350-West-As-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>350 West Ash Penthouse #1205</h3>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/listings/Real-Estate-For-Sale/120022395/Downtown-San-Diego/Little-Italy/350-W-Ash/350-Ash/Unit-1205.html#img0" target="_blank">Penthouse Residence #1205 at 350 West Ash St.</a></strong> is the prime South/ West corner on the top of this high-rise condominium community.  The interior layout is on the smallish side, but it does have very interesting architectural detail and spectacular bay &amp; city views.  This urban loft style condo features high ceilings and is flooded with natural light due to it&#8217;s orientation.  Beautiful  wood floors accentuate its contemporary design, and the open loft floor plan highlights the architectural crown of the building.</p>
<p>When entering into this Penthouse Suite, you immediately get an impression of the character of this urban loft by the vintage Wurlitzer jukebox located in the corner of the unit.  The jukebox is located on the first floor (downstairs), which hosts the living room and kitchen area.  The kitchen features quality stainless steel appliances and beautiful Caesarstone counter tops that compliment the tasteful interior.  Walls of windows then draw your eye to the outdoors where a fantastic private patio off the living area extending to the outdoors, where your views look out on to the <a href="http://www.thebigbay.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Big Bay</strong> </a>and the beautiful downtown cityscape.</p>
<p>Upstairs is the loft area, which is open to the living area below, giving the space a voluminous appeal for its size.  The current owner has configured the upstairs area with a den/ office that is separated with a decorative partition wall that separates the master bedroom area.  Residence 1205 has 2 full bathrooms, both upstairs near the master bedroom &amp; den, as well as downstairs, conveniently located for the guests.  The overall square footage of the condo is just under 1,200 sq ft, but its not necessarily the condo that makes this the <strong>Ultimate Downtown Party Pad</strong>&#8230;</p>
<h2>Downtown San Diego&#8217;s Best Private Party Deck</h2>
<p>Residence 1205 at 350 West Ash includes the exclusive use rights to the entire 700 sq ft rooftop party deck with 360 degree panoramic views from La Jolla to Mexico and beyond!</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>If you like to impress and entertain, look no further!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/120022395_101_81.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-12506 alignright" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/120022395_101_81-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I could only imagine the type of entertaining possibilities that one would have in such a exclusive amenity.  The patio is accessible by a rather narrow stairwell that can be locked when not in use.  Once atop the rooftop, one can entertain with a wonderful outdoor built in barbecue and large fire pit.  It truly is an amazing space that is conveniently located footsteps from the Penthouse residence 1205.</p>
<p>The rooftop originally was intended for common use to all of the residents of the building during the construction of the building. Building code and ADA compliance regulations ultimately prevented the space from being a common space because there was not a possibility to add a wheel chair lift.  Because the deck could not be accessed, nor pass compliance codes, B &amp; H Development was forced to assign exclusive use of the deck patio, and Penthouse Residence #1205 was the lucky recipient.  The same story goes for what was intended to be a common use fitness center and sauna in the building.</p>
<p>Located on the first parking level is a hidden door that is only accessible for the private use to Penthouse #1205.  The door opens up to a surprisingly large fitness room with quality equipment.  There is also men and women&#8217;s changing rooms, showers and a dry sauna.</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>It is incredible that such a rare space can be assigned to 1 unit!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/120022395_L01_81.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-12509" src="http://www.welcometosandiego.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/120022395_L01_81-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I could just imagine a &#8220;man cave&#8221; with surround sound, movie theatre, along with the fitness equipment.  Like I said, there is nothing like it in San Diego!</p>
<p>Apparently, one of the Developers purchased residence 1205 after the construction of the building was completed.  It had obvious value with the conveyance of the exclusive use rook deck and fitness center and originally sold for well over 1 Million dollars..  The penthouse also conveys with 3 side-by-side parking spaces&#8230;</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>Perfect for the automobile collector!</p></blockquote>
<p>Interesting enough, the property had been foreclosed on twice since it originally sold.  The price tag has since taken a dramatic drop and is now for sale for a pretty amazing price of $749,000.</p>
<p>I could see a professional athlete or entertainer getting the most out of this space.</p>
<blockquote class="typeface-js"><p>Imagine having your own roof top party palace and private gym&#8230;</p></blockquote>
