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, an d zoned for Grossmont Union High School District (rated 7/10). HOA is just $75/month. Great owner-occupant opportunity or investor play. 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.

In total, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom, plus an attached 2-car garage.
