Neighborhood

Known by locals as Middletown, Midtown San Diego stretches across Interstate 5 and is bounded by Pacific Highway to the west, Washington Street to the northwest, and Goldfinch Street to the east. Immediately east lies Balboa Park and well-known neighborhoods like Bankers Hill and Park Laurel. Find visitors and locals at the Fleet Science Center, San Diego Air and Space Museum, and the San Diego Zoo.

Within Midtown, you’ll find a few local restaurants and trendy bars serving up fresh seafood and handcrafted cocktails. Midtown is a fantastic choice for renters who want to be close to the action, but also commute into and out of the city frequently. Stunning lofts, modern single-family homes, and more affordable garden apartments make Midtown an eclectic place to rent.
