1BR Condo for Sale in San Diego, CA

Fifth-floor western exposure and exceptional natural light distinguish this 1-bedroom residence at The Egyptian. A wide orientation and floor-to-ceiling windows bring light across the living space while framing open neighborhood and sunset views. Positioned on the interior courtyard side of the building, #501 is removed from the direct street exposure of Park Boulevard and University Avenue, providing a notably quieter setting in the heart of Hillcrest. The private balcony offers genuine usable outdoor space with room for both seating and dining. Inside, recent improvements include new flooring, Bosch appliances, gas cooking, refaced cabinetry and an updated bathroom with walk-in shower. The spacious bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while the recently replaced HVAC system represents another significant improvement. Two parking spaces and a private EV charger add practical value rarely found together in an urban one-bedroom residence. The Egyptian's solid concrete construction, interior corridors and direct elevator access from the garage further distinguish the building from much of the surrounding condominium inventory. A well-positioned fifth-floor residence combining western views, natural light, a quieter courtyard orientation, two parking spaces and meaningful updates in one of Hillcrest's most distinctive residential buildings. Located at Park Boulevard and University Avenue in the heart of Hillcrest, The Egyptian's HOA dues include the building's central cooling tower, hot and cold water, gas, sewer, trash, common-area maintenance, elevators, exterior window cleaning, roof maintenance and landscaping. Additional features include in-unit laundry, an individual water shut-off for the residence and dedicated bicycle storage. The building's exterior is monitored by CitiGuard security. The location provides immediate access to Hillcrest's restaurants, cafes, retail and services while allowing #501 to benefit from its more protected interior courtyard position. Multiple bus routes are accessible within approximately one block at the Park Boulevard/University Avenue transit hub. Balboa Park and its extensive trail network are approximately half a mile away, while the San Diego Zoo, North Park and University Heights are all within approximately one mile. With two assigned parking spaces and a private EV charger, the residence also offers flexibility for buyers who want the walkability and connectivity of central Hillcrest without giving up the convenience of private parking.
