About This Home
215 Spruce Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained four-unit apartment property in the highly desirable Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. The property features an attractive unit mix of three 1-bedroom/1-bath residences of approximately 480 square feet and one studio of approximately 400 square feet. The building retains much of its original character, including hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, original cabinetry and woodwork, while select areas feature updated vinyl plank flooring and a mix of newer appliances. Unit A is further distinguished by a fireplace and newly installed floor heater, while the remaining residences are equipped with wall heaters. Each unit benefits from its own individual water heater, and residents have access to a rear courtyard, common-area deck and tenant storage. A single-car garage, currently utilized for owner storage, provides additional utility and potential future flexibility. The property has been self-managed by the same ownership for approximately 29 years and reflects a history of attentive ownership and long-term tenant retention, with residents having occupied the property for as long as 20 years. Importantly, three of the four units have not received rent increases in years, creating a compelling opportunity for a new investor to capture meaningful rental upside over time while implementing a targeted capital improvement program. Original kitchens, cabinetry, appliances and interior finishes provide a clear pathway for strategic modernization and enhanced rental positioning. Combining a highly sought-after central San Diego location, historically stable occupancy, distinctive vintage character and significant embedded income growth potential, 215 Spruce Street offers investors an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a manageable multifamily asset in one of San Diego’s most established rental submarkets.
