3034 Island Ave

Built in 2006, this home lives like a true detached single-family: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and well-designed living space. The layout offers open living areas with soaring high ceilings, comfortable bedrooms for privacy, and an easy flow to your outdoor space. The primary suite includes its own attached bathroom and a private balcony, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Throughout the home, plantation shutters boost energy efficiency, enhance privacy, and give you precise control over light. See supl. Low-maintenance living continues outside with synthetic turf in the front yard, offering year-round greenery and water savings. A private patio off the dining room makes BBQs and casual entertaining simple and inviting. There’s also a generous garage for parking and storage, something you don’t always find this close to the urban core. On paper, the tax roll categorizes it as a condo, but there are NO MONTHLY HOA dues at all, so you keep that single-family feel without the extra fee. Central, move-in ready, and still under the radar, this detached home delivers the metro lifestyle people want without the downtown price tag. I’m still surprised more people haven’t discovered this pocket of San Diego. You’re just minutes from Downtown, Golden Hill, Grant Hill, South Park, and North Park, so all your favorite coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants are a quick hop away. There’s easy freeway access and the nearby trolley, making commuting or catching a game or concert incredibly convenient. The neighborhood itself is diverse, vibrant, and full of local markets and great casual eateries, so day-to-day living feels easy and connected. You get that central, “close to everything” lifestyle without paying the hefty prices of the trendiest metro neighborhoods. Anyone planning ahead will appreciate having schools close by, including Logan Memorial Educational Campus and Mountain View Elementary, just a short distance away.
