Neighborhood Guide
Living in Mission Hills
Mission Hills is a hillside neighborhood of tree-lined streets and carefully preserved early-20th-century homes overlooking Old Town, Mission Bay and the harbor. Its historic districts, canyon views and central location make it one of San Diego's most sought-after places to own a single-family home.
Life here feels like a small town within the city: neighbors walk to the cafes and shops around Washington Street, picnic at Pioneer Park and stroll the history-rich grounds of Presidio Park. It's well suited to families and buyers who value character architecture and a quiet, established setting near downtown.
Homes in Mission Hills
Predominantly single-family homes in Craftsman, Spanish Revival, Prairie and Mission styles, many in designated historic districts, along with some condos and small apartment buildings near the commercial core.
