If you own a condominium in San Diego, California, having the right condo insurance policy is essential to protecting your investment. Many condo owners mistakenly believe their HOA’s master insurance policy covers everything inside their unit. Unfortunately, that is often not the case.
At Starwest Insurance Services, we specialize in helping San Diego condo owners find affordable and comprehensive HO-6 condo insurance policies designed to protect their home, personal belongings, liability exposure, and financial future.
What Is Condo Insurance?
Condo insurance, commonly known as an HO-6 policy, helps protect the portions of your condo that may not be covered by your HOA’s master policy.
A typical HO-6 policy may provide coverage for:
- Interior walls and improvements
- Flooring, cabinets, countertops, and fixtures
- Personal belongings
- Personal liability protection
- Loss assessment coverage
- Guest medical payments
- Additional living expenses

Why San Diego Condo Owners Need HO-6 Insurance
San Diego has one of the largest condo markets in California. Whether you own a condo in Downtown San Diego, Mission Valley, University City, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, Carmel Valley, Mira Mesa, Chula Vista, or Little Italy, condo ownership comes with unique insurance risks.
Common condo claims include:
- Water damage from neighboring units
- Fire and smoke damage
- Theft and vandalism
- Liability lawsuits
- HOA special assessments
- Sewer backups
- Wind and storm damage
A properly designed condo insurance policy can help protect you from costly out-of-pocket expenses.
How Much Inside Walls Coverage Do You Need?
One of the most common questions we receive is:
“How much Coverage A should I carry on my condo insurance policy?”
The answer depends on your HOA’s master policy and lender requirements.
Coverage A (Building Property) may protect:
- Drywall
- Flooring
- Cabinets
- Countertops
- Built-in appliances
- Bathroom fixtures
- Interior renovations and upgrades
Many San Diego condo owners carry anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 or more in Building Property coverage depending on the size and upgrades within the unit.
Our team can review your HOA documents and help determine the proper amount of coverage.
