940 Calla Avenue, Unit 15
Imperial Beach, CA 91932
A Top-Level Retreat with Bay Views
Unit 15 sits at the top of the Dolphin Cove complex at 940 Calla Avenue, delivering the kind of unobstructed bay and South Bay coastline views that penthouse buyers search for. Built in 1990, this 1,504-square-foot penthouse features four bedrooms and two full bathrooms at a price point well below what comparable coastal properties command in Imperial Beach.
The open-concept great room connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas under vaulted ceilings that amplify the sense of space and light. The kitchen includes granite countertops, upgraded cabinets, and laminate wood flooring that flows throughout the unit. Dual-pane windows and custom blinds complete the interior, while stackable washer/dryer hook-ups add everyday convenience.
An owned solar energy system is already installed and operational, reducing monthly utility costs from day one. HOA fees of approximately $350 per month cover common area maintenance, exterior landscaping, roof maintenance, building insurance, trash pickup, and water/sewer services. The community also provides a swimming pool and professionally maintained grounds.
Calla Avenue places you in a very walkable part of Imperial Beach with a Walk Score of approximately 83 out of 100. Imperial Beach Pier, Seacoast Drive dining, Dunes Park, and the sand are all within easy reach.
