Today Coronado Island will be crowded like the 4th of July. But no, it’s not a holiday. It’s the Red Bull air races over the San Diego bay! They’re crazy, and fun to watch, and draw huge crowds. Owners of many Coronado homes can watch from their roof decks, which makes for a great, relaxing, exciting afternoon. The roof deck has become a staple in Coronado homes that are newly constructed. Last week I stood atop a roof deck that had enchanting views of downtown San Diego, the Hotel Del Coronado and the clear blue ocean. Amazing. How can one spot have great views of all three and be listed for only $1.7M?
There is a lot owned by Pinnacle Peak construction on the 300 block of E Avenue. They are tearing down the house and building two new Coronado homes. What is interesting about this particular Coronado real estate parcel is that it is at the highest elevation on the island. It’s about 100 feet higher than the surrounding neighborhood homes. Take a walk down E Avenue for yourself and you will see that the 300 block rises in the middle quite substantially. I have spoken with Pinnacle Peak construction and learned that they intend to build a roof deck with a gas grill and fireplace on both homes, and that the views to downtown across the Bay are indeed amazing from that extra elevation. I wonder what they will list for?
