SAN DIEGO – Tired of looking, condo after condo, rent or own, Marina District, East Village, Cortez Hill, Little Italy, Mission Valley?  Think you can rent a nicer condo than you can afford? Buyers at Aloft on Cortez Hill say “not so”.  After looking for a place to own for many months, Aloft homeowner John Smith found the answer.  “I was renting in the Marina District but tired of dealing with a landlord.  I decided it was time to buy a place of my own.  What I could afford to rent was much nicer than what I could afford to buy.”

Smith added  “When I discovered Aloft on Cortez Hill, it immediately stood out from the crowd. I was instantly influenced by the location, design, energy and affordability of the project.  For me, the combination of all of these factors easily topped all of the competitors.  The interior design my Aloft home reflects the urban sophistication I wanted.  I can walk to work from a Cortez Hill neighborhood that is largely residential in nature and filled with young professionals.  Living at Aloft provides exactly what I was looking for in a downtown condo.”
