Love South Park, North Park, Univ Heights,Mission Hills, Bankers Hill! I think this is the best place to live in SD. Especially if you are less of a typical Socal type, and more of a Boston/SF/Seattle/Portland/Lower Manhattan/Europe vibe.

Like another poster said, it doesn’t feel like cookie cutter, sterile, artificial, plastic, strip center SoCal (i.e Carmel Valley and pretty much anything East of 5 North County)…but you still get the great SoCal weather!
