This area has “gentrified” significantly since CALTRANS bought up those hundreds of parcels on each side of “40th St” thru eminent domain. This action, along with the long-planned and successful addition of the I-15 “cut and cover” project and later, EC Blvd “enhancements” made by the City, created all the micro areas which paulflorez speaks of now.
It is exciting to see the changes in these micro-areas, especially the public additions such as parks, swimming pool and ice skate rink. This area has come a long, long way since the ’80’s, IMHO. It is also gratifying to see qualified buyers spend $$ to repair/upgrade these older smallish homes, many of which have notable and important (to SD) architectural features.
SD’s “Mid-City” is beginning to rock!
Strictly by its close-in metro location and lower price point than North/South Park, Cherokee Park and surrounds have nowhere to go but up, in my “expert” option.
