Location Details
Neighborhoods:
Downtown - Neatly packed into a single square-mile grid between the 5 freeway and the Harbor, downtown San Diego has it all: soaring skyscrapers bustling with big business, old turn-of-the-century buildings housing trendy new nightclubs, and peaceful parks perfect for a short stroll or a relaxing rest.
Coronado - Coronado, "The Crowned City," is the queen of San Diego's neighborhoods. Not truly an island, but the headland of the peninsular sandspit that guards San Diego's fine natural harbor, Coronado's appeal is as strategic as it is aesthetic.
La Jolla - Surrounded on three sides by the sea and backed by the steep slopes of Mt. Soledad, La Jolla has a Mediterranean feel and enjoys a unique microclimate which rarely drops below 50 degrees or exceeds 90 degrees.
Mission Bay - Located just minutes from downtown San Diego, Mission Bay Park is a 4,600-acre water wonderland, the largest park of its kind in the world. Offering 27 miles of bayfront and 17 miles of oceanfront beaches, Mission
Bay is a place where visitors can take advantage of a wide range of water activities including swimming, powerboating, fishing, sailing, waterskiing and kayaking.
Pacific/Mission Beach - Down by the Boardwalk, down by the sea, in the coastal communities of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, you'll find the stereotypical California Dream alive and well. What started in the early 1900's as a seasonal summer vacation resort has grown into one of San Diego's hippest year-round residential neighborhoods and party hotspots.
Mission Valley/Old Town - It's literally the center of town, where all roads in San Diego lead. You'll find established residential neighborhoods, a major university, big shopping centers, hotels, and the Chargers football
stadium.
Hillcrest/Balboa Park - For visitors, the most interesting attraction in the Hillcrest area is 1200-acre Balboa Park, with its many museums, indoor and outdoor theaters, public sports complex, parks, playgrounds, and of course, the renowned San Diego Zoo.
North County/Carlsbad - One of the fastest growing neighborhoods in San Diego—a headquarters for high-tech corporations and home to upscale housing communities. But, when traveling north along the Pacific Coast Highway between Encinitas and Oceanside, North County's scenic beaches and charming roadside villages make it feel like you're heading back in time and leaving it all behind.
