Why Colusa?

1135 Colusa Street represents the next chapter in the transformation of Linda Vista’s residential landscape. Located steps away from the University of San Diego, this project—Carl on Colusa II—builds on the success of its 16-unit predecessor next door, Carl on Colusa I, which was completed earlier this year. Backed by real-world momentum and community-proven design, this new 18-unit development is poised to meet surging demand in one of San Diego’s most strategic rental corridors.

Situated on a wide, quiet residential street with panoramic views of Mission Valley, this site is tailored for today’s renters: students seeking proximity to campus, healthcare workers employed at nearby hospitals, and military personnel stationed just minutes away. With walkability to USD and close access to the 5, 8, and 163 freeways, this location offers unmatched convenience while preserving the feel of a tucked-away residential pocket.

Carl on Colusa II will offer modern, low-footprint, high-efficiency units designed to optimize both livability and ROI. Several units will feature west-facing balconies with city and sunset views, while shared amenities and thoughtful landscaping will enhance the sense of community. This is infill development done right—smart, intentional, and aligned with the long-term needs of San Diego’s rental market.
