San Diego’s vibrant Barrio Logan is a treasure trove of art and culture.

Military Coastal Artistic Historic Trendy

Formerly San Diego’s waterfront warehouse district, Barrio Logan has emerged over the last few decades as a thriving cultural center for the city. Numerous local galleries and the popular Barrio Art Crawl have raised Barrio Logan’s profile as a hotspot for artistic talent in San Diego, which is also on display in the huge, iconic murals of Chicano Park.

The north end of the neighborhood is practically across the street from the Gaslamp Quarter, giving folks easy access to the city’s nightlife and entertainment epicenter, and Balboa Park is only a few blocks away as well.

The location on San Diego Bay puts Barrio Logan conveniently close to Naval Base San Diego and the other local military facilities, making it an excellent location for service members and civilian military employees.

It is not safe. I hear gunshots nightly. There is volience 24/7. It is also very expensive dispute the safety concerns.

Reslient. This community has a long history of advocacy for social justice, despite the systemic, institutionalized racism that has contributed to the environmental and economic disparity of its residents. Through culture, art, music and organization, Barrio Logan continues to flourish.

Barrio Logan gives me the chill Chicano artsy vibes. Chicano Park has so much inspiring art that I think gives the character to this neighborhood. Almost everyone knows everyone or you see people regularly even if you don't know them.

I am very concerned with the safety of the neighborhood, as a mother I rarely allow my kids to walk around the neighborhood. We have had in the past reports of young girls being raped and/or kidnapped while walking home from school. There is an increase of people living out of their cars or camper trailers and they park near our neighborhood schools. The police don't do anything about this problem.
