Remarks

Dwell West Homes proudly presents Unit 3 at 1278 Pacific Beach Drive — a turnkey coastal condo just steps from Mission Bay and Fanuel Street Park. Located in a well-maintained gated complex, residents enjoy a shared rooftop deck with bay breezes and sunset views, along with the convenience of elevator access. The unit has been fully renovated with a clean, modern design and thoughtful layout. Highlights include a refreshed kitchen with contemporary finishes, updated bathrooms, new flooring throughout, and in-unit laundry hookups for everyday convenience. The home is move-in ready and ideal for low-maintenance coastal living whether you’re looking for a primary residence, second home, or investment (HOA does not currently prohibit short term rentals). Parking is a standout feature, offering a private garage plus an additional parking space — a rare find this close to the bay. Ideally situated within walking distance to Mission Bay, the beach, parks, dining, and shopping, this property delivers an exceptional blend of lifestyle, location, and convenience.
