Where is the Best Kept Secret for Buying Real Estate in San Diego?

CITY HEIGHTS, situated 10 minutes southeast from San Diego’s thriving downtown and new ballpark, is known for its extremely diverse immigrant population and many affordable properties. Some of the lowest priced properties that are in the county are in this zip code. City Heights (92105) has an up and coming atmosphere. The City Heights area has a community-oriented character with many upgrades happening before our eyes! 92105 is a mixed-use neighborhood with 4 new schools that have opened since 2006! A prime spot for first-time buyers and rental property investors makes City Heights very desirable at this time. City Heights (and the adjoining Azalea Park Community) has been progressively transitioning from a lower income community to a vibrant, trendy neighborhood filled with artists, working professionals, and young families.


This ethnically and socially diverse community enjoys a variety of shops and neighborhood organizations and is very convenient to freeways and public transportation. The state-of-the-art community center and shopping district includes a new massive Albertsons Food Store Shopping Center, a drive-through Starbucks and many new restaurants. Adjacent to the new community center is a Public Park with a large community pool, entertainment stage and sports fields.


House styles range from small craftsman and Spanish style to one to three bedroom homes and affordable condos. There are many 2-6 unit rentals properties and apartment buildings available. There is a dense population in City Heights that readily supports an investment property owner in their acquisition of tenants.


Originally, this was the area that supported the new immigrants from Mexico, Vietnam then Ethiopia and Somalia. These rich cultures create a most colorful and interesting mix of beautiful people and fascinating traditions. Still, the influx of businesses and new construction to the neighborhood and the close proximity to the hip North Park and Hillcrest has helped to increase home values in the past decade. City Heights is only 1.5 miles from the campus of San Diego State University.
