The Surf House is a trophy-quality 10-unit luxury apartment community ideally located at 1478 Hornblend Avenue in the heart of Pacific Beach, San Diego. This exceptional offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully rebuilt, turnkey coastal asset in one of Southern California’s most supply-constrained and sought-after rental submarkets. Completed in June 2024, The Surf House underwent a comprehensive stripped-down-to-the-studs redevelopment under full City of San Diego permits, bringing the property to modern building code standards and ensuring long-term structural and operational durability. Major upgrades include a new 600-amp electrical system (100 amps per unit), all-new plumbing, a centralized hot water system, fire sprinklers, foundation, new roof, windows, smooth-finish stucco, custom gutters, and architectural steel staircases. Interiors of each residence feature premium designer-level finishes, such as quartz countertops, custom style cabinetry, designer tile, high-end stainless-steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, in-unit washer and dryer, and individual split HVAC systems. Every unit has been meticulously designed to complement a modern coastal lifestyle, offering private outdoor living areas—including exclusive patios or expansive roof decks—with many units capturing panoramic ocean and bay views. Centrally located just six blocks from the shoreline and steps from Garnet Avenue’s vibrant dining, retail, and entertainment corridor, The Surf House boasts a Walk Score of 96, driving strong resident demand and premium rents.
