ParticipantThe Mission Hills and surrounding area (inc. parts of Bankers Hill, Morley Field, parts of Hillcrest, western part of University Heights around Park) I think is the best place to live in San Diego. It is one of the few areas in San Diego County that has at least a little bit of character, historical charm, pedestrian oriented neighborhoods, mom & pop stores. And so centrally located.
As compared to say North County inland east of 5 (where I live now…can’t wait to move back towards Balboa Park!), that is the exact opposite…cookie cutter homes, strip centers with mostly national chains, 100% car oriented, hardly anyone walking the sidewalks. Completely lacking in any character, charm or soul. “Phoenix By the Sea”. Man they used to build much cooler neighborhoods in 1890!

ParticipantApart from La Jolla, which is amazing if you are independently wealthy and don’t have fight traffic on your way to work, MH is my favorite place to live. It is a beautiful area near restaurants. You can be anywhere in the city within 15 min. There is only 1 very big problem, I can’t afford it.
I love downtown too and would consider living in a high rise, but I have too many toys that need a garage.
As far as moving from TX, you are right about affordability. I could live in a McMansion there. Although you should enjoy being in your house because it is too hot to go outside. I am willing to sacrifice an amazing house to be within 10 min of the beach, and live in an air conditioned climate.
