About Mission Hills
A living museum of early 20th-century California architecture.
Mission Hills sits on a mesa above Mission Valley with sweeping canyon views and tree-lined streets developed primarily between 1905 and 1940. Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival homes, and Tudor cottages sit side by side — many on the Historic Register. It's two miles from downtown, minutes from Balboa Park and Little Italy, and consistently ranks as one of the most livable and sought-after neighborhoods in San Diego.
