The Best Condominium in Downtown San Diego Is?

This question was recently asked to 2,000 downtown resident condominium owners in a survey asking them to rank their homes in 13 categories and tell what they like the best and the least. The categories included relaxed feeling of home, views, audible outside noise, security, parking and quality of construction, etc. The survey results show you can purchase a home in one of the top five rated properties for under $450,000.

Topping the list by a very narrow margin was the Meridian, a sleeper of a building downtown but a treasured home for many downtown residents. This condo rose to the top as a result of its complete and full service amenities.

Rounding out the top five downtown condominiums were CityFront Terrace, Citymark at Cortez Hill, Harbor Club, and Discovery. Condos offering the best values as reflected in the high ratings yet available for low prices were Treo and Porto Siena.

Almost all of the survey respondents had positive things to say about living downtown including the convenience of being able to walk to the mall, restaurants, nightclubs, theaters and even work. The residents say their quality of life has improved and many have also seen the value of their home appreciate quite a bit in the last few years.

Mark Mills, a Realtor with RE/MAX Real Estate Consultants in downtown San Diego who conducted the survey, says the purpose of the survey was to provide an education to people shopping for a condominium downtown. There are about 50 condominium buildings to choose from downtown. In the past people bought into a building because it was a landmark or looked appealing and later regretted buying there. These surveys are a resource to help buyers choose the building that’s right for them.
