Mission Hills
This cozy town within a city is a very desirable location for those who want to keep in close proximity to the city but are looking for something more unique than a suburban feel. Many of the neighborhoods have well preserved and finely remodeled Craftsman-style homes. These home designs continue to prove to be timeless. Mission Hills has it's own row of restaurants, grocery stores, and local artisan shops along Washington Street. Mission Hills is close to Balboa Park, and Scripps Medical.
Hillcrest
Perched high up above the city of San Diego to the north is this classic urban chiq community that has a mix of newer high rise condominiums with classic single family structures. Leading from Downtown San Diego, Banker's Hill and Hillcrest rise above the city revealing fantastic San Diego Bay and Downtown views.

Normal Heights
SOHO San Diego? I think this might be as close as we might get, albeit Hillcrest is perhaps a close second. Normal Heights is a neighborhood that is far from Normal, and San Diegan's feel it is actually quite special. It is a neighborhood in the middle of San Diego that offers a truly enjoyable casual walking experience along Adams Avenue. It is a very social pocket where people of all interests, and backgrounds congregate. It has become a much sought out area from many in their 20's to 40's, along many long time residents well into retirement age.
