Little Italy San Diego | Neighborhood Spotlight

Little Italy San Diego Neighborhood Spotlight

There are 7 livable downtown San Diego neighborhoods.  The most vibrant and desired of the seven is Little Italy San Diego which is located along the embarcadero on the North West side of downtown.

Little Italy began as predominately hard working middle class Italian neighborhood.

Unfortunately, it was divided in half by the construction of Interstate 5 and struggled for many decades to regain its stature as a vibrant community.

Little Italy San Diego The Comeback

In the 1990’s efforts began to restore the community culture and bring Little Italy back.

Construction has been non stop with emphasis on creating one of San Diego’s most livable, walkable, and enjoyable downtown destinations.

The first wave of mid and high rise condominiums began construction in the early 2000’s changing the San Diego skyline.

New developments sold out quickly. Eager buyers paid premiums for the opportunity to reside and invest in the newly revamped Little Italy neighborhood.

Along with many of these future residents were savvy investors seeking an opportunity to purchase new build condos in a highly desirable area as second homes and rental properties.   

As more innovative and bold developments are being constructed the desirability of owning a rental property in Little Italy is greater than ever.
