Overview

A 4-story low-rise building in Bankers Hill

At Laurel Bay, Balboa Park is practically the front yard. Laurel Bay is a 4-story condominium community at 2400 5th Avenue in Bankers Hill, on the northern edge of Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code. Completed in 2003, its 150 homes sit a short walk from Balboa Park, with studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms to choose from.

Bankers Hill is one of San Diego’s most graceful neighborhoods: leafy streets, Victorian-era homes alongside modern condos, and Fifth Avenue’s neighborhood restaurants and wine bars within an easy stroll. Laurel Bay fits right in. It’s a comfortable, low-rise alternative to downtown’s towers, with a pool and spa for warm afternoons, a fitness center, a BBQ area, on-site security and a pet-friendly policy that allows up to two pets per home.

The location does a lot of the work. Balboa Park’s museums, gardens and trails are practically the backyard, Hillcrest’s restaurants are just up the road, and downtown and Little Italy are a few minutes away by car or bus. For buyers who want a calmer pace without giving up the city, Laurel Bay is an easy place to call home.

Lifestyle in Laurel Bay

Is Laurel Bay right for you?

What to weigh before you buy

Dues run $680–$750 a month (based on 2026 sales), covering the pool, spa, fitness center, BBQ area and common-area upkeep. There is no concierge or guest parking, so visitors use nearby street or public parking. The association is managed by Action Property Management.
