High Rise Condos for Sale in Coastal San Diego California
I occasionally get a call from buyers who are looking for condos but in particular want to be in a high rise condo building.
Not surprisingly this request is usually from buyers who are living in cities where high rise condos are common, NYC and Las Vegas for example.
High rise condos are not common here until you get to downtown San Diego where high rise condo buildings are abundant, especially if you want to be along the coast to enjoy the views.
At the far northern end of the county you will find a couple of high rise condo buildings in Oceanside. One, Marina Towers, is truly a high rise with 17 floors, but the other more-recently built building, Oceanside Terraces downtown, may more properly be considered midrise at 6 stories.
Condos in these buildings facing the ocean or marina/harbor offer fabulous views and will normally be priced in the 6 to 7 figures…a bargain compared to downtown and Los Angeles.
There are no high rise condo buildings along the coast until you get to La Jolla, about 20 miles to the south from Carlsbad.
High rise condos in La Jolla Village and nearby offer amazing ocean views and easy access to all that La Jolla Village has to offer and are, as one would expect, pricier, although not by Manhattan standards.
Units in the best known full-service building will typically range from $1.6M to around $5 million.
Downtown San Diego offers plentiful high rise condo options, with many building built during boom times. T
here are both new condos for sale (e.g., Bayside condos, Sapphire) as well as resales with prices in the 6 and 7 figures. Expect to pay a premium for high rise full service condos with the best views and on the upper or penthouse levels.
