2330 1st Avenue
Overview
Sometimes the most appealing address on the block is also the smallest. The Lodge is a boutique, 3-story condominium building at 2330 1st Avenue in Bankers Hill, on the northern edge of Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code. Completed in 2006, its 51 homes include studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms, all a short walk from Balboa Park.
With just three stories, The Lodge feels more like a neighborhood residence than a condo complex, and that’s its charm. Bankers Hill wraps around it with tree-lined streets, historic homes and a quieter pace than the downtown core, while 24-hour security looks after the building. Monthly dues have historically run among the lowest in the area, which makes The Lodge a smart fit for first-time buyers and investors.
Few addresses put this much within easy reach. Little Italy’s cafés, Hillcrest’s restaurants, the airport and Balboa Park’s museums and trails are all minutes away. For buyers who want a lower-key alternative to downtown’s high-rises, with the neighborhood right outside, The Lodge is well worth a look.

For anyone who wants a calmer neighborhood with Balboa Park and Downtown San Diego close by, the location is a real draw.
