National City delivers the feel of San Diego with South Bay breathing room, just 6 miles from downtown via I-5 or the trolley. Daily life moves comfortably between the walkable city center -- where late-1800s Craftsman and Spanish-style homes share blocks with new food halls and coffee shops -- and waterfront recreation along San Diego Bay. Neighborhoods near Heritage Square showcase the city's oldest architecture, while Highland Avenue hums with local restaurants and grocery options ranging from Latin markets to seafood shops.
The rental stock covers a solid range: studio and one-bedroom apartments in low-rise and mid-rise communities, two- and three-bedroom townhomes, and a scattering of condos. Craftsman bungalows and ranch-style cottages round out the mix for those wanting a bit more yard space.
As San Diego County's second-oldest incorporated city, founded in 1887, National City grew up around the Santa Fe Railroad and the Kimball family's ambitious development plans.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
