A 33-story tower in East Village
Living at The Metropolitan comes with a perk few condos can offer: access to Omni Hotel services. The Metropolitan is a 33-story tower at 165 6th Avenue in East Village, in Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code, with just 38 condominium residences on its upper floors. Completed in 2004 by JMI, it sits a short walk from Petco Park, and its homes take in sweeping city views.
With only 38 homes, every residence at The Metropolitan is considered a penthouse, with generous square footage, top-floor views and one-of-a-kind floor plans. The building shares its address with the Omni Hotel, and residents enjoy hotel-level living to match: access to Omni services, a fitness center shared with the hotel, a concierge and on-site security, and guest suites for visiting family. A private pool and spa are reserved for residents and their guests. Up to two pets are welcome, subject to board approval.
Step outside and you’re in the middle of it all, with Petco Park across the street and the Gaslamp Quarter and waterfront a short stroll away. For buyers who want true penthouse living with hotel-style service, The Metropolitan is one of downtown’s most exclusive addresses.

Lifestyle in the Metropolitan
Is The Metropolitan right for you?
The Metropolitan is a natural fit for buyers who want full-service high-rise living: a concierge and on-site security look after the building, and residents share the pool, spa, fitness center shared with the Omni Hotel and BBQ area without leaving home. Pet owners will appreciate the policy, which allows up to two pets, subject to board approval. And if family and friends visit often, the guest suites are a real advantage. 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 about $2,230 a month (based on the past two years), covering the pool, spa, fitness center shared with the Omni Hotel, BBQ area and common-area upkeep. There is no guest parking, so visitors use nearby street or public parking. The association is self-managed.
Leases must be at least 30 days, so nightly rentals aren’t allowed, but monthly and longer rentals are.
