Southwest-facing corner residence with beautiful city views, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the largest one-bedroom residences at Solara Lofts. At 978 square feet, Residence #409 offers significantly more living space than many of the building’s one-bedroom homes, creating the comfort and flexibility of a much larger residence.
Walls of windows bring in abundant natural light, while the oversized balcony extends the living space outdoors, perfect for morning coffee, working from home, or taking in the city as the sun sets. The open floor plan is equally suited to relaxed evenings or entertaining friends.
Two side-by-side parking spaces are an exceptional Downtown advantage, complemented by guest parking and a large storage unit. Solara Lofts adds a fitness center, racquetball court, sauna, lounge, massage suite, bike storage, and secure gated parking.
Set at the base of Cortez Hill, the location offers easy access to Balboa Park, Little Italy, the waterfront, Gaslamp Quarter, dining, entertainment, the airport, and major freeways-close to everything, without being in the middle of the busiest downtown streets.
Corner position, southwest exposure, generous space, city views, and two side-by-side parking spaces make #409 a standout. Schedule your private showing today and experience it for yourself
