The Pride of San Diego
Snuggled in the Western region of San Diego, California real estate and right next door to Balboa Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the area. The suburb of Hillcrest was settled in the 1920s mainly by the bankers and bureaucrats who could afford to build their mansions on this affluent mesa. Surrounding the area are the neighborhoods of Mission Hills, Midtown, University Heights, and North Park.
At present, homes for sale in Hillcrest are some of the most charming you'll find, not to mention that residences here are merely a walk away from curious shops and delightful cafés. Although it is centrally located, the cost of homes in Hillcrest are quite affordable. And if you and your partner want to have a nice meal, there are a variety of good restaurants to choose from where you can indulge your palate.
Hillcrest is known as a friendly neighborhood that exudes a youthful charisma. Perhaps it is because of its openness that the neighborhood has become the core of San Diego's gay and lesbian community. In line with this, the biggest civic event of the city is the San Diego Gay Pride that is held on the last weekend of July. The celebration is proudly taken part in by the residents of Hillcrest. Besides this celebration, Hillcrest also has Cityfest, a street festival that takes place every August. Expect to have your senses delighted by the delicious dishes, live entertainment, rich beer, and shopping venues that take over the street.
