About This Home

Kidder Mathews is proud to exclusively offer for sale this fully renovated, 32-unit luxury apartment community in the heart of coastal Encinitas. Nestled in one of North San Diego County’s most coveted beachside enclaves—just 0.8 miles from Moonlight State Beach and under 1 mile from Downtown Encinitas’ bustling shops, restaurants, and surf culture— The Gemma delivers an irreplaceable walk-to-everything lifestyle in a market with virtually no new supply. This turn-key trophy asset has undergone a complete 2025 renovation to institutional standards, featuring all-new quartz countertops, fully renovated kitchens and bathrooms, luxury vinyl plank flooring, new AC units, a brand-new roof, and full re-plumbing with new water supply lines in every unit. The freshly painted exterior enhances curb appeal, while 13 spacious two-bedroom, two-bath townhomes and 19 one bedroom, one-bath flats (32 units total) deliver a highly desirable, family-friendly mix commanding premium coastal rents. With quality post renovation systems installed, minimal near-term CapEx, and Encinitas vacancy below 2.5%, The Gemma offers immediate stabilized cash flow, organic rent growth, and long-term appreciation in a submarket where median home prices exceed $2.1M. This rare offering combines 2025-renovated luxury, proven coastal demand, and embedded upside—a true core-plus investment in the crown jewel of North County.
