Downtown San Diego

(Zip code: 92010)

The heart of every city lives in its downtown, and San Diego is no exception. Located only minutes from the airport, San Diego’s Downtown districts offer a plethora of options for residential dwellings, activities, dining and cultural attractions, all accessible by foot or by trolley. Modern and historic buildings stand side-by-side, in the downtown historic Gaslamp District, housing shops and boutiques, trendy nightclubs, rooftop bars and fine dining restaurants.

Downtown San Diego is a vibrant urban paradise which houses a diverse mix of cultures, cuisine, business, and real estate. Located on San Diego Bay itself, the downtown residences are more modern than other areas in San Diego. The Gaslamp Quarter, one of the historic downtown neighborhoods of San Diego, is named for the gas lamps that lined its streets decades ago. The condominiums here are attractive, and many buildings and houses for sale are Victorian-style. Just north of downtown San Diego is the quaint neighborhood of Little Italy, filled with Italian restaurants and businesses. The real estate and houses in this district are mostly Mediterranean-style, though there are plenty of modern condominiums and lofts for the hipper residents.

During the day, one can enjoy various cultural attractions, like The New Children’s Museum, or take in a baseball game at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, or catch a ride on the trolley to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. With plenty of choices to eat, shop and explore, residents can enjoy a true California urban safari in San Diego’s Downtown District.

After dark, the area transforms into a sophisticated playground for adults. With endless variety of posh night clubs, sizzling music venues and sky-high rooftop bars, you are bound for an adventurous and memorable night on the town.

On the west edge of San Diego’s Downtown lies 3 miles of the Embarcadero district. Meaning “the landing place” in Spanish, the Embarcadero boardwalk hugs the east side of San Diego Bay, and is home to the San Diego cruise terminal, the Navy Pier and Seaport Village. Climb aboard to explore the ships at the USS Midway Museum, the Star Of India, or the Maritime Museum of San Diego. If moving a sea vessel is more your flavor, hop on a harbor cruise and explore the San Diego Bay.
