Built 2006 8 stories 65 homes HOA $480–$620/mo (2026 data)
Overview
A 8-story mid-rise building in East Village
Element keeps East Village living simple, practical and close to everything. Element is an 8-story condominium building at 550 15th Street in East Village, in Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code. Completed in 2006 by Centex Homes, its 65 homes sit at the southwest corner of Market Street and 15th, a short walk from Petco Park.
Element is a small, easygoing building with one perk downtown buyers love: its own parking, with 76 spaces reserved solely for residents. With only 65 homes, it has a relaxed, neighborly feel, plus an on-site fitness center, gated security and storage for every home. Up to two pets are welcome, and monthly dues are among the more approachable in East Village, which makes Element a natural fit for first-time buyers and investors.
In East Village, game days at Petco Park, weekend brunch and an evening at a local brewery are all a short walk away, and the neighborhood’s parks and dog-friendly streets make everyday life easy. For buyers who want a comfortable, lower-key alternative to downtown’s high-rises, Element is an easy place to call home.

Lifestyle in Element condos
Is Element right for you?
Element suits buyers who would rather live in a smaller, lower-key building than a high-rise, the kind of place where neighbors get to know each other. With dues of $480–$620 a month, it’s also worth a close look for first-time buyers and investors watching monthly costs. Pet owners will appreciate the policy, which allows up to two pets per unit. For anyone who wants restaurants, coffee and nightlife within a few blocks, the location is hard to beat.
What to weigh before you buy
Dues run $480–$620 a month (based on 2026 sales and listings), covering the fitness center, gated security and common-area upkeep. There is no pool, concierge or guest parking, so visitors use nearby street or public parking. The association is managed by Action Property Management.
Leases must be at least 30 days, so nightly rentals aren’t allowed, but monthly and longer rentals are.
