San Diego Little Italy Apartments - Stylish Living in the City

AV8, previously known as the historic 1927 John O Day Building, has kept its vintage finishes from the original airplane and engine mechanics school initially occupying the building while restoring the building into a luxury living space for our residents.

Find your dreamy SoCal residence that effortlessly combines glamorous amenities and expertly designed floor plans with a location close to it all. Set in Little Italy, San Diego, our apartments have a wealth of signature Italian restaurants steps away, while downtown and its bustling entertainment scene are within a 5-minute drive.

Whether you move in on your own or with a bigger entourage, our diverse selection of floor plans have you covered. Pick your favorite from the studio, one, two, or three-bedroom apartments, or penthouses, and take advantage of the lifestyle-enhancing features each of them boasts. Cook in a chef-worthy kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz slab countertops, and full-height porcelain backsplashes. Complete your morning and evening routines in a designer bathroom that sports stylish Moen fixtures. Enjoy additional comforts such as full-size Energy Star washer & gas dryer sets, USB charging outlets, and large walk-in closets in some homes.

Let no day pass by without admiring the gorgeous views from the fifth-floor sky lounge. Play your favorite music, lie back on the cabanas, then gather around the fire pit with your friends and chat the night away under the starry sky. And if you get hungry in the meantime, grill some vegetables at the BBQ stations and serve them at the indoor or outdoor community tables.

There's so much to enjoy in and around our Little Italy, San Diego apartments. Fly by for a tour to see everything for yourself!
