Doma


1750 & 1780 Kettner Boulevard

Doma is a mid-rise condo building in the Little Italy neighborhood of downtown San Diego (92101).  The two separate condo buildings that make up Doma are very different – 1780 Kettner Boulevard is modern and urban with lofts and exposed concrete whereas the 1750 Kettner Boulevard building is more traditional.  Doma is in a great location if you’re looking for easy access to restaurants, the Mercato farmers market, and the freeway.
