Neighborhood

One of San Diego’s most densely populated neighborhoods, Hillcrest remains a quaint, affluent part of the city that prides itself in its diversity. Local businesses thrive in this lively neighborhood, with pedestrian-friendly streets and a variety of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques.

Hillcrest resides just three miles north of bustling downtown San Diego and four miles east of the San Diego International Airport. Residents enjoy living just minutes from the San Diego Bay, waterfront parks, sandy beaches, and the historical Balboa Park. Visit Marston House Museum & Gardens to learn about one of the city’s most prominent families and the master architects and landscapers who created one of the region’s most important estates in 1905 in Balboa Park.

Enjoy some of the local eateries around town by ordering an authentic pie or calzone at Bronx Pizza, or grabbing some brunch at Snooze an A.M. Eatery.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
