Along with La Jolla, one of the hottest spots for real estate and exceptional living is the heart of San Diego - Downtown. After peaking in 2006, Downtown prices have softened through 2007 leaving 2008 as a great time to find affordable living in the urban oasis.
At the same time as prices become more attractive, for those that are not as concerned with cost, Downtown is being infused with uber luxurious high rise living. Sapphire and Bayside join the Grande in the Columbia District, while buidings like Pinnacle and Harbor Club offer high end living in the Marina District.
Downtown San Diego's East Village - the largest of the Downtown villages, is undergoing a second, post ballpark phase of its renaissance. While there are some spectacular new units still available, the commercial space is finally filling making this a real community.
