Overview

A 7-story mid-rise building in Hillcrest

Hillcrest has plenty of personality, and The Egyptian has more than its share. The Egyptian is a 7-story condominium building in Hillcrest, just north of Downtown San Diego, completed in 2005. Its design takes inspiration from the 1931 Egyptian Fox Theater, giving its 80 homes a character all their own.

In a city of glass towers, The Egyptian stands out. Its theatrical, Egyptian Revival-inspired styling nods to the neighborhood’s history and gives residents a home with real personality, the kind of building people point out as they drive by. With 80 homes, it’s a comfortable, lower-key alternative to downtown’s high-rises.

Residents can walk to Hillcrest’s eateries and shops and to Balboa Park, with public transit and the 163, 8, 15 and 805 freeways close by. For buyers who want character, convenience and one of San Diego’s liveliest neighborhoods right outside, The Egyptian is an easy place to call home.

Is The Egyptian right for you?
