Living in Little Italy
Once the heart of San Diego's Italian tuna-fishing community, Little Italy is now one of downtown's liveliest residential districts, with modern condos rising above piazzas and sidewalk trattorias. It sits along the northern edge of downtown, close to the bay and the airport.
Weekends revolve around the Saturday Mercato farmers market, espresso on India Street and evenings at the neighborhood's many restaurants and wine bars. It fits buyers who want a walkable, social, village-like pocket with the waterfront a few blocks away.
Homes in Little Italy
Primarily mid- and high-rise condominiums and lofts built over the past two decades, plus a small number of older cottages and townhomes.
