655 Columbia St

Columbia Place is a low-rise, single-story-stacked mid-rise complex completed in 1989 in San Diego’s Marina District. The community is composed primarily of two-bedroom residences arranged around interior courtyards and quiet park-facing elevations. Architectural character blends post-modernist warmth with practical downtown proportions: textured façades, recessed balconies, and landscaped common spaces. Interiors typically feature high ceilings, granite counters, recessed lighting, built-in features, ceiling fans, walk-in closets, and private balconies or terraces. Units frequently offer dual en-suite bedroom layouts, in-unit laundry hookups, and added storage off the balcony. Shared amenities include a spa, fitness center, courtyard with barbecue areas, and secure underground parking; some listings note two assigned spaces for select units. HOA dues are generally described as lower-than-average for downtown, and the association permits short-term (30-day) rentals, appealing to investors. Located within comfortable walking distance of the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, waterfront parks, restaurants and transit nodes, Columbia Place targets residents seeking an amenity-rich, compact urban lifestyle with easy access to downtown San Diego destinations.
