Buying in Coronado: Speed Festival Fleet Week

If you think you will be bored living in Coronado, you may be surprised at all the activities.  This weekend, September 24 and September 25 is the weekend for the 14th annual Coronado North Island Speed Festival.

There are cars galore for the racing enthusiast ranging from 1952 vintage cars all the way up to 1988 FIA championship cars. 

The Speed Festival runs two full days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or when the last race is run.

The Coronado Speed Festival is part of the San Diego Fleet Week Celebration.  If you would like to attend, you can visit Speed Festival Fleet Week for additional information.  Fleet Week celebrations will come to a fantastic conclusion with the Miramar Air Show featuring the Blue Angels.  If you have never seen the Blue Angels fly, you are missing an unbelievable show.

Start the weekend at the Coronado Speed Festival and end your Fleet Week celebrations on Sept 30-Oct 1st.

Downtown San Diego Condos: 2910 Kellogg St., Pt. Loma

Now here is a different type from in somewhat the same price range as 6 Jamaica in the Coronado Cays.  While the Cays are directly across San Diego Bay from us here in Downtown San Diego, this unit is to the west in Pt. Loma.  This asking price of $859,000 would again compare to a mid-level unit in one of the Downtown San Diego condo buildings.  What a difference.

While 6 Jamaica offers on the water style living, this unit offers proximity and view to San Diego harbor from Pt. Loma.  This unit is smaller in both bedrooms....2 and square footage at 1456 sq. ft. Yet this condo is more expensive than 6 Jamaica.  Location and style are everything when people want to live near the water.  This condo is newer than 6 Jamaica and the style is more in keeping with a buyer who wants a newer style condo or single-family home.

 Who wouldn't want to cook in this kitchen....assuming one wants to cook.  As you can see there is also a view of San Diego harbor and view always adds to desireability and worth, at least here in our San Diego market.

Can you picture yourself sitting out on your deck and just watching the ships traverse in and out of San Diego harbor and the aircraft taking off and landing on North Island?  Works for me.

Downtown San Diego Condos: Stunning Historical San Diego Photos

These are among the most fabulous historical photos I have seen of San Diego.  You can even see why North Island Naval Station was originally called North Island.  It was an island.  These photos were taken aroun 1912.  The World Exposition in Balboa Park would not occur until 1915 and you can see a lot of work going on Downtown getting ready for this major event.  The photo of the U.S. Grant is superb and you can see it is just the same today.  Here are several of these Downtown San Diego photos and I will continue to share the others over the next little while.

For those of you who never saw the original Horton Plaza, here is a great photo.

Isn't the U.S. Grant the same 100 years later?

Look at San Diego Harbor. See North Island? Now you can understand where North Island got its name.
