About this home

Stylish Little Italy Condo — 1 Bed | 1 Bath | 721 Sq Ft Located in the sought-after Little Italy neighborhood of Downtown San Diego, this fashionable 721 sq ft 1-bedroom condo is uniquely positioned on the 5th floor of Piazza Palermo. Enjoy fantastic city views and unobstructed pool views, plus a rare layout that shares only one wall—adjoining an unoccupied maintenance storage room—creating a real sense of privacy uncommon in a 230-unit, six-story high-rise. Inside, the home boasts tasteful plank-style wood flooring, a fully remodeled modern bathroom with new vanity and tiled shower, recessed lighting, and functional built-ins throughout the closets and pantry. A convenient in-unit stackable washer and dryer adds everyday ease—a coveted feature for downtown living. The thoughtful open-concept floor plan centers on a stylish kitchen with ample cabinetry and a granite bar with seating, while sliding glass doors off the living room open to a sizeable, breezy balcony—the perfect spot to take in the view. Residents of Palermo enjoy an impressive lineup of amenities, including a pool and spa, fitness center, community room, billiards room, BBQ area, and an outdoor lounge with two fire pits. Added conveniences include guest parking, an Amazon package system, and on-site management—all with some of the lowest HOA dues Downtown.
