Experience uncompromised peace of mind, ultimate privacy, and resort-style living at The Discovery in Cortez Hill. High-rise living in downtown San Diego is at its absolute finest when backed by a dedicated 24/7 front desk security guard and concierge team—ensuring total access control so guests cannot simply walk into the building unannounced. Adding to the incredible strength of this HOA, your monthly dues deliver incredible value by covering gas, water, high-speed Wi-Fi/internet, sewer, and trash pickup—meaning your only utility responsibility is electricity! Residents enjoy a premier suite of luxury amenities, including a 10th-floor rooftop lap pool and hot tub with panoramic skyline views, a fully equipped fitness center, sauna, steam room, and a social lounge. Hosted building events throughout the year foster a warm, welcoming community feel. Positioned on the desirable 5th floor, Unit 511 is a rare 3-bedroom southwest corner home featuring an expansive great room framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring 10-foot ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and commanding mountain and city views. Unlike the standard 2-bedroom inventory flooding the market, this spacious 1,285 sq ft floor plan provides the versatile space modern buyers demand—making it ideal for remote executives, corporate tenants, or families alike. The fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar seating flows seamlessly into the living spaces and out onto an oversized private terrace, perfect for outdoor dining, lounging, and a BBQ. Complete with two secure parking spaces and available fully furnished, this rare corner home presents an exceptional plug-and-play opportunity for a primary residence or a turn-key asset. Nestled in Cortez Hill—downtown’s most peaceful, elevated neighborhood pocket—you are just minutes from Little Italy, Balboa Park, and the waterfront.
