A Little About Mission Hills Metro

Mission Hills is an “uptown” neighborhood north of downtown San Diego. Located on hills just south of the San Diego River valley, it overlooks the downtown skyline, Old Town, the San Diego International Airport, and San Diego Bay. As San Diego grew in the early 20th century, this area represented some of the first outlying “suburbs” expanding from downtown and still consists of numerous houses from the 1908–1930 period — beautiful Craftsman, Prairie School, Spanish Colonial Revival, and other styles. Many are on the National Historical Register, and most are meticulously maintained.

The area is primarily residential, with boutique shops, businesses, and restaurants along its main thoroughfare. With an abundance of canyons in the neighborhood, many residences are tucked away in wooded areas, providing a secluded, private feel despite being in the heart of an urban area. Pioneer Park and Mission Hills Park are two recreational parks within the neighborhood, and Robyn’s Egg Trail and the Allen Road Canyon Trail offer hiking. The famous horticulturalist Kate Sessions founded the Mission Hills Nursery, which is still an active business since 1910.

Several private and religious schools are located in Mission Hills, the best known being the lower school campus of the Francis Parker School. Public schools in Mission Hills are part of the San Diego Unified School District. The public elementary school is Ulysses S. Grant Elementary School, which teaches grades K–8. Since there is no public high school in the neighborhood, students are given the choice of attending Point Loma High School or San Diego High School.

Nearby communities in the Metro area include Hillcrest, University Heights, North Park, and South Park. All are vibrant neighborhoods with an abundance of music festivals, farmer’s markets, parades, restaurants, and nightlife. With its central location and easy access to major freeways, the Mission Hills Metro region is very close to Balboa Park, Old Town State Park, downtown, Sea World, and numerous beaches.
