With gasoline at close to $5, and your decisoin to leave the exurbs and move to downtown SD, you have a few choices to help you find that SDU5 condo. My favorites are:
San Diego Condo Information
At this site I like the easy look-up of information, and the low-pressure sell. There is lots of information about the condominium buildings for sale, information about the condominium buildings, and very little pressure to force you to the realtor. This is definitely a realtor's site, however it is more about information, and less about forcing you to contact the realtor to find out about the unit for sale.
Overall - High Rating. Good Information. Easily Researched. Low Realtor Limitation
San Diego Condos
This site is one of the most popular results in a web search on downtown San Diego Condos. This site is high on graphics, and low easy to use content.
In the first web site listed above, all of the units are listed in a row. This web site lists each unit individually, with pictures and additional content. If you are looking for information on a particular condo, this is probably a better site. If you want to see, and compare all of the units for sale in a building, then SDCondo.com is probably better.
The last site is Live At The Top
This site has its information in a realtor style, which, for this reader, makes it difficult to use. When accessing information on a condo, it brings me to a screen, and I have to scroll within that screen, which takes up about 40% of my laptop's computer screen. Overall, it seems like a site with good information that is poorly presented.
As always, if you are looking for what someone paid, there are several resources, including
Zillow
San Diego County Assessor and Tax Recorder

Who to Call for a Problem in SDU5?
If you have a problem, and don't know who to call, the CCDC, has prepared a 2008 Downtown Living Guide to make your transition to SDU5 (San Diego Under 5) easier.
One of the best items that I like about CCDC's downtown living guide is the list of telephone numbers to call when you have a complaint.

Multiple Jumps to Get to Coronado NASNI - Broken Certificate
From a search on Google for "Coronado NASNI" (Naval Air Station North Island), it takes three jumps to get you to the current web site for NASNI. The Google search for Coronado NASNI brings you to the site www.nasni.navy.mil. Clicking www.nasni.navy.mil brings you to a web page which says "www.nasni.navy.mil URL has changed to www.nbc.navy.mil
You will automatically be redirected to www.nbc.navy.mil in 5 seconds. If your browser doesn't automatically load, click HERE."
When you get to http://www.nbc.navy.mil/, you get a similar forwarding message saying,
"This site has moved. You will be automatically redirected to its new location in 10 seconds. If you aren't forwarded to the new page, click here. - https://www.cnic.navy.mil/coronado"
When you click on https://www.cnic.navy.mil/coronado, it brings you to an site with an invalid security certificate which reads
"Secure Connection Failed
www.cnic.navy.mil uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown."
You will automatically be redirected to www.nbc.navy.mil in 5 seconds. If your browser doesn't automatically load, click HERE."

Electa Owners Forced to Footage Umpire
Unit owners of Bosa's most recent San Diego luxury downtown condominium, the Electra, at 700 West E Street, San Diego have been complaining about the size of the square footage of their units, and at least one prospective unit owner tried to bring it to the judge. The owner's complaints are that the square footage of the marketing materials does not match the measurements. Hey, you should have asked if the if the footage was measured using the US or Bavarian square foot.
The outcome of Avila vs. Bosa, et. al. (37-2008-00078262-CU-OR-CTL) requires that the parties go to arbitration and that the litigation is "stayed" (layman translation = no day in court) pending arbitration. The order in this case says "Court grants defendant Bosa motion to compel arbitration as to the 3rd thru 6th causes of action. The 1st and 2nd causes of action are stayed pending arbitration.
