City Heights is one of San Diego’s most diverse and central neighborhoods, with historic bungalows, small multi-unit properties, and strong demand from owner-occupants and investors.

City Heights is a large, culturally diverse neighborhood in ZIP code 92105, east of North Park and I-805, made up of smaller communities such as Azalea Park, Castle, Colina Park, Fairmount Park, and Teralta. Housing ranges from Craftsman and Spanish-style bungalows to mid-century homes, duplexes, small apartment buildings, and condos.
Values vary widely block to block, and many properties are purchased for rental income or ADU potential. I help buyers compare condition, income, and location carefully, and help sellers reach both owner-occupants and investors to maximize their result.
