Property Description
We are pleased to present 250 Van Houten Avenue, a ±0.51- acre (±22,215 SF) infill development site located in the heart of El Cajon, in the East County submarket of San Diego. The property is zoned RM-2200 (allowing one dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet of land) with a Mixed Use Residential Required overlay, providing density flexibility for residential or mixed-use development. Additionally, the site sits within a designated Opportunity Zone, offering qualified investors significant federal tax advantages on capital gains deployed into the project. The site benefits from immediate access to Interstate 8, State Routes 67 and 125, and the El Cajon Transit Center. It sits within walking distance of Parkway Plaza, Sharp Grossmont Hospital, and downtown El Cajon's revitalizing core. Surrounding land uses include established residential neighborhoods, retail, and medical service providers. With limited entitled or developable sites in the immediate area, 250 Van Houten represents a rare opportunity to acquire urban infill land at a compelling basis of $27.00 per land square foot in one of San Diego County's most underserved housing submarkets.
