Named for the Sicilian capital, Palermo is right at home in Little Italy. Palermo is a 6-story condominium community at 1501 Front Street in Little Italy, in Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code. Completed in 2004 by Integral Partners, its 230 homes sit steps from Little Italy’s restaurants and cafés.
Palermo brings a resort-style feel to Little Italy at some of the neighborhood’s most approachable dues. The pool deck is the place to be on warm afternoons, and residents also share a spa, a fully equipped fitness center, a clubhouse and a BBQ area, with guest parking for visiting friends. Up to two pets are welcome, which makes Palermo popular with dog owners, first-time buyers and investors alike.
Mornings in Little Italy mean espresso at a corner café; evenings mean a table on India Street or Kettner Boulevard. The Saturday Mercato, the waterfront and the trolley are all within easy walking distance. For buyers who want the vibrant Little Italy lifestyle with a comfortable, lower-key home base, Palermo is an easy place to call home.

Palermo 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 $460–$560 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.
Dues run $460–$560 a month (based on 2026 sales and listings), covering the pool, spa, fitness center, BBQ area and common-area upkeep. There is no concierge. The association is managed by Piazza Palermo Management.
