Civic Core District Real Estate, San Diego Downtown Condos for Sale

Presented by San Diego City Life Real Estate

Central government, financial and corporate institutions are concentrated in the Civic/Core District, which extends from A Street to Broadway and Union Street to Park Boulevard. Restoration and revitalization of many of the historic buildings are adding new residential, retail and commercial opportunities in the heart of downtown. City Hall is here and the historic Copley Symphony Hall and San Diego Civic Theatre integrate arts and culture in this neighborhood. The trolley runs along C Street, a major east–west artery in this district, and plans are in the works to improve this important travel corridor. In the near term, these plans include safety and landscape improvements; in the future, projected plans address the entire public realm of the corridor and its function as a link to essential services as available in City Hall and the Civic Center.

Cortez Hill Real Estate, San Diego Downtown Condos for Sale

Presented by San Diego City Life Real Estate

One of San Diego’s oldest residential neighborhoods was named after the famous El Cortez Hotel, which has been restored and converted into condominiums. Views include Balboa Park, San Diego Bay, the Pacific Ocean and the urban scene below. Victorian-style homes populate the area, along with newer condominiums and apartments. The hill’s topography separates it from downtown’s hustle, yet its closeness makes it a very desirable address for those who want to live on the cusp of an active urban center. The character of this neighborhood is symbolized by the lavender blooms of jacaranda trees that line its main corridor and into its newest linear park, “Tweet Street.”

San Diego’s Walk of Fame features statues of Alonzo Horton, former Mayor and Governor Pete Wilson, and Horton Plaza developer Ernest Hahn. The historic Balboa Theatre, one of the oldest performing arts venues in San Diego, was completely restored by CCDC and reopened as a live performance and conference venue in 2008. Revitalization has spilled into the Gaslamp Quarter where Alonzo Horton first encouraged downtown’s redevelopment in the 1870s by building a wharf at the foot of Fifth Avenue to facilitate trade with the area’s retail stores. The16.5-block neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the 94 structures identified as historically or architecturally significant now house more than 100 restaurants and nightclubs, movie theaters, stores, offices, galleries and lofts.
