La Vita means “the life,” and this Little Italy tower takes the name seriously. La Vita is a 24-story condominium tower at 300 W Beech Street and 1580 Union Street in Little Italy, in Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code. Completed in 2005 by Intergulf Development, its 304 homes take in city views and sit steps from Little Italy’s restaurants and cafés.
La Vita delivers a lot of lifestyle for moderate dues. The interior courtyard, lushly landscaped around a cascading fountain, is the building’s heart, and residents share a lap pool and spa, a sun deck, a fitness center, a BBQ area and a clubhouse with a pool table. Every home includes storage, and up to two pets are welcome.
Little Italy’s sidewalk cafés, well-known restaurants and the Saturday Mercato farmers market are steps away, with the waterfront and the trolley a short walk down the hill. For buyers who want high-rise views at a more moderate cost, La Vita is well worth a look.
