About This Property

Welcome to this beautifully laid out 3-story townhome-style condo in the sought-after Promenade Square community. Built in 2003 and offering 1,876 sq ft, this home fronts quiet Orange Avenue — not the busier Magnolia Blvd — for a more peaceful living experience in the heart of downtown El Cajon. 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. Seller is offering concessions — buyer and buyer's agent to confirm details and terms with listing agent. Great owner-occupant opportunity or investor play — ask agent about a highly attractive assumable financing option currently in place. Offers due July 31st. 138 W Douglas Ave, El Cajon, CA 92020 — Promenade Square. Tucked into the heart of downtown El Cajon, this 2003-built, 1,876 sq ft townhome-style condominium offers a rare combination of privacy, walkability, and smart financial upside, all fronting the quieter Orange Avenue side of the Promenade Square community rather than the busier Magnolia Blvd. This home is designed for true separation between living and sleeping areas across three levels. The entry level features a welcoming Living Room, creating a natural buffer between the street and the more private upper floors. The second level is anchored by the Kitchen and Dining area, featuring new appliances and a convenient half bathroom for guests. The third level holds all three bedrooms, including a generous Primary Suite with its own ensuite Primary Bathroom, plus a second full bathroom serving the remaining two bedrooms. In total, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom, plus an attached 2-car garage. Positioned less than 1 mile from the El Cajon Transit Center, this home carries a 91 Walk Score, placing it firmly in highly walkable territory, with downtown El Cajon's shops, restaurants, and transit options just steps away. The property is zoned for the Grossmont Union High School District, rated 7/10. HOA dues are just $75 per month, keeping monthly costs low compared to many condo communities in the area. Seller is offering concessions available to the buyer; concession amount, structure, and any conditions are to be confirmed with the listing agent and will be addressed in the purchase agreement, and buyer and buyer's agent should discuss compensation and concession terms directly with listing agent prior to writing an offer. For qualified buyers, the seller's existing loan with Chase Bank carries a 2% interest rate that may be assumable, subject to buyer pre-approval directly through Chase and a 20% down payment, with a resulting assumable payment of approximately $3,300 per month. For investor buyers, comparable area rents of $4,300 to $4,500 per month make this an especially compelling cash flow opportunity relative to the low assumable payment, though all financing details are subject to lender verification and buyer qualification, and buyers and their agents should confirm all terms directly with Chase Bank prior to submitting an offer. All offers are due by July 31st, and interested buyers should include a pre-approval letter or proof of funds with their offer. Whether you're an owner-occupant drawn to the walkable downtown lifestyle or an investor seeking strong cash flow with historically low financing, 138 W Douglas Ave presents a unique opportunity in El Cajon's Promenade Square community.
