Downtown San Diego Neighborhoods

Downtown San Diego Map Overview

Downtown San Diego offers several distinctive neighborhoods, each with its own history, character, and lifestyle.

Little Italy: The sloping landscape at the northern edge of San Diego Bay  was once home to a highly successful tuna fishing industry and the many Italian families who derived a living from that industry. Its lovely vistas now offer an urban neighborhood with single-family homes, condos & apartments. A recently revitalized India Street is alive w/restaurants, cafes, galleries & shops.

Horton Plaza: Named for the small, but prestigious Horton Plaza Park, residential opportunities may be limited, but this 15-block area puts residents at the center of Downtown's activity. The area includes luxury condominiums and apartments amidst high-rise office buildings, retail, hotels, theaters and restaurants.

Cortez Hill: Distinguished, and one of San Diego's oldest residential neighborhoods, it was named for the famous El Cortez Hotel. Views include Balboa Park, the bay, ocean, and the urban scene below. Victorian-style homes dot the area, along w/condos & apartments. The hill's topography separates it from much of Downtown's hustle & bustle, yet its closeness makes it a very desirable address.

Core: This neighborhood serves as the region's hub for government, finance and business. There are also a variety of arts-related venues in the Core including Symphony Hall, the Civic Center and the 1929 California Theater.

East Village: Downtown's largest neighborhood, East Village, will experience the greatest residential growth in the coming years. Scattered throughout the area are artists' homes, studios, galleries and shops. San Diego City College, the New School of Architecture and two high schools are in the area.

Ball Park Disctrict: Home of Petco Park, home field of the San Diego Padres, leads the long list of infrastructure development in the neighborhood.  Over the next couple of years, this beautiful new stadium will be complimented by the new San Diego Main Library and the 12th Avenue Park-to-Bay Link (a pedestrian "tree-lined” promenade connecting Balboa Park to the San Diego Bay).

Columbia: Though largely commercial in nature, the Columbia neighborhood offers several new high-rise office towers and two new hotels are planned for this area, as well. The waterfront in this neighborhood is a major segment of the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan, which includes a grand esplanade and development that values beautiful vistas and enhanced public access.

Gaslamp Quarter: This 16.5-block neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the 94 structures identified as historically or architecturally significant now house more than 70 restaurants and nightclubs, movie theaters, retailers, offices, galleries and urban live/work lofts.

Marina District: Formerly warehouses and vacant lots, this neighborhood offers high-rise and mid-rise condominiums and apartments, townhouses, and loft style units, in a variety of styles, sizes and prices. The area stretches between the waterfront, Horton Plaza and Downtown's office towers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 


 





East Chula Vista Overview

Otay Ranch: A pedestrian-friendly 5,300 acre planned community.  After a ten year planning process, it took just a few short years for Otay Ranch to grow into a vibrant community that combines the best of old-style neighborhoods with the latest in community design. Today, residents are enjoying the community's pedestrian parks, strolling and biking along the extensive network of trails, paseos, and promenade streets, and meeting friends and neighbors at Heritage Towne Center.


Eastlake: EastLake has been voted the Best New Home Community in San Diego by the San Diego Union-Tribune Readers Poll since 1997! One stroll through the streets of EastLake and you'll sense it. It began in 1986 when EastLake opened their first neighborhoods on 3,200 acres of land just south of San Diego in the City of Chula Vista. They had a clear vision to create a community that has everything a family would ever need — schools, parks, stores, business centers — within a single area. Most importantly, EastLake wanted to create a community that's safe, serene and supportive of healthy, happy living. All while being just far enough from downtown San Diego to feel separate from the city yet just close enough to be convenient. EastLake is minutes from freeway connections to downtown San Diego, Lindbergh International Airport, Los Angeles, and Mexico.
