About Dan Dennison
Local Expertise

Which San Diego neighborhoods does Dan Dennison serve?

I help buyers and sellers throughout San Diego County, with neighborhood guides for Allied Gardens, City Heights, the College Area, Del Cerro, Grantville, Kensington, Normal Heights, Ocean Beach, Paradise Hills, Point Loma, Rolando, and Serra Mesa. Each guide covers home styles, ZIP codes, what drives value, and answers to common local questions.

Choosing the right neighborhood matters as much as choosing the right home. I help you compare commutes, schools, home ages, views, and price trends, and for military families I match neighborhoods to your installation. As a member of the San Diego County Assessment Appeals Board, I also see firsthand how location shapes property value.

"Choosing where to live is as important as choosing the home. I help you compare neighborhoods with honest, local insight."
