The buildings here
Normal Heights has a dense stock of 1950s–1960s walk-ups and six-unit buildings along and just off Adams Avenue. Kensington is mostly single-family homes, with a handful of small apartment buildings that rarely come up for sale.
What buyers ask about in 92116
- Many owners have held for 20–40 years, so the 1031 and step-up-in-basis questions come first.
- Galvanized plumbing and original electrical are the common inspection findings in 1950s–1960s buildings.
- Buildings near the Adams Avenue shops draw the most buyer interest.

Thamis GallanisBroker-Manager · CA DRE 01011756Who you'll talk to
You talk to the broker, not a call center.
Thamis Gallanis has spent 28 years in San Diego real estate: selling buildings, managing them, and advising the families who own them. Before that, he worked as a Resolutions and Receivership Specialist with the FDIC, taking over the real estate of failed banks and deciding, asset by asset, what to fix, what to hold and what to sell.
That job taught him to look at a building the way a lender or a buyer will, and to give owners a straight answer. Sometimes the right answer is to sell. Sometimes it is to fix the management and keep collecting rent. He'll tell you which.
