Neighborhood

Wedged between Balboa Park on the east side and San Diego Airport to the west, Bankers Hill is a terrific location for those who like to travel, those who like nature, and those who want to be close to the city center – Downtown San Diego is directly south of Bankers Hill. It is named for the wealthier residents who first populated the area, which developed during the 1800s. Many of the elegant Victorian mansions still dominate the neighborhood, although many have been converted into bed and breakfasts and office suites.

Today, Bankers Hill is best known for its restaurants, which line Fifth Avenue. Residents from all over San Diego head here to enjoy hotspots like Evolution, Cucina Urbana, Café Bassam, Barrio Star, Mister A’s, and Azuki Sushi. The Maple Canyon Trail is a more hidden gem in the neighborhood – residents know about it, but few others are aware of this terrific hiking path that extends one mile through the center of the neighborhood.
