Downtown San Diego

The heartbeat of every city lives in its downtown, and San Diego is no exception. Located only minutes from the airport, San Diego’s thriving urban center reinvented itself as a dynamic place to live, work and play. Once known as a sleepy navy town, Downtown San Diego vaunts all of the benefits of big city living with a relaxed atmosphere that is common to Southern California, thus attracting new residents from across the United States.

Downtown San Diego has 8 districts to suit your urban lifestyle or residential real estate preferences: Gaslamp, East Village, Columbia, Marina, Cortez, Little Italy, Horton Plaza, and the Core. These neighborhoods have their own distinctive flair, which means it is important for buyers prior to moving to the San Diego area to explore each of them. Whether you are looking for waterfront living featuring luxury high-rises, retail shopping and sophisticated enclave of museums or a small town feel with restored Victorian Era buildings, old-world restaurants and parks, Downtown San Diego has it all.
