Welcome to this beautifully laid out 3-story townhome-style condo in the sought-after Promenade Square community.

The thoughtful 3-level design offers true separation of space: a welcoming Living Room at the entry level, an updated Kitchen and Dining area (with new appliances and a convenient half bath) on the second floor, and all 3 bedrooms on the third floor including a spacious Primary Suite with its own ensuite Primary Bathroom, plus a full hall bath for the additional bedrooms. A 2-car garage completes the package. Location is a standout: under 1 mile to the El Cajon Transit Center, a 91 Walk Score, and zoned for Grossmont Union High School District (rated 7/10). HOA is just $75/month. Great owner-occupant opportunity or investor play. 138 W Douglas Ave, El Cajon, CA 92020 Promenade Square.
