Historia

-

Named after the State Normal School, a predecessor to San Diego University, the area remained largely undeveloped until the turn of the 20th century. After a reservoir was built in 1905, and over 40 buildings quickly sprang up before the end of 1906. At that time it was still independent from the rest of the San Diego area, but a trolley system connected it to the city by 1913, along with paved roads and sidewalks. The neighborhood was finally annexed to San Diego in 1925. A large fire broke out in 1985, destroying nearly 70 homes, some of which were built that first year of development in 1906.

Normal Heights does not have any museums, but the San Diego Natural History Museum, San Diego Air and Space Museum and San Diego Museum of Art all sit near Balboa Park, just to the southeast of the neighborhood. The Andrea Rushing Academy of Art, located off of Adams Avenue, offers classes in oil painting, pastels and drawing, as well as art shows on the first Saturday of every month. The arts scene expands to the annual Art Around Adams event, featuring two miles of live music and art, stretching along Adams Avenue from Normal Heights into Kensington.

Transporte

Walking remains a very popular option for getting around the neighborhood, thanks to the central location of the area’s shopping and dining establishments. Despite its walkability, bike riding remains a less attractive option since the neighborhood only has one bike lane or route, which runs along 35th Street.

Five bus routes pass through Normal Heights, including 1, 11, 170 and 215, and residents can also call a cab or book a ride through Uber. The neighborhood does not offer any public parking lots or garages, but three garages sit just over the boundary in North Park, when coming from the east side of University Avenue. CA-15 and I-805 run along the eastern and western boundaries of the neighborhood and meet I-8 to the north, making all three highways easily accessible to residents.

Parques
