700 W. E Street
At 43 stories, Electra is the tallest residential building in downtown San Diego. Built out of the facade of the San Diego Gas & Electric power plant, Electra sits at the southern edge of the Columbia District. (I know, some people claim it’s in the Marina District because it is located south of Broadway. Simply not true. The City of San Diego maps draw the boundary at F Street. Come at me, bro. LOL)
Ok, so where were we? Oh yes, Electra. Electra is situated in a great spot to take advantage of all downtown San Diego condo living has to offer: walk to parks like Pantoja (NOT an off-leash park by the way; pet peave; See what I did there?) and Waterfront, the water, restaurants like The Lion’s Share, Ralphs grocery store, Portside Pier …. How about walking to work? Little Italy is just a few blocks north and it’s a quick, cheap Uber (or bus ride for $2.50 – shhh, it’s a secret) to San Diego International Airport. Did I mention the Santa Fe Depot train station is across the street? Oh and also a Starbucks.

My favorite things about Electra: Lobby, Conservatory, 5th Floor amenities, right across the street from Santa Fe Depot (easy to take Coaster to North County or Amtrak Pacific Surfliner to Los Angeles), close to craft beer (Stone, Burgeon, Karl Strauss), The Headquarters At Seaport is 2 blocks south.
- Also: Broker caravan only allowed on the first Thursday of the month; open houses not permitted; Electra’s 411 parking spots are not deeded; one-year minimum for any leases at Electra
