Jamacha marries convenience with relative affordability
Jamacha is an eastern San Diego neighborhood that sits just off Imperial Avenue, a major thoroughfare dotted with restaurants and other businesses. The area is also within walking distance of spacious Keiller Neighborhood Park. “It's affordable," says R.J. Bernales, a local Realtor at Luxome Realty, who has a decade of real estate experience. "It's fairly close to the center of San Diego." The nearby Metropolitan Transit System trolley, as well as Martin Luther King Freeway and South Bay Expressway, make getting around to other parts of the city and region easier. Jamacha’s homes also offer buyers relative value, Bernales adds. "It’s probably [one of] the cheapest single-family residences in San Diego."
Jamacha locals, and their four-legged friends, can enjoy nice long walks throughout the neighborhood streets.
A neighborhood staple, Imperial Food Super Market in Jamacha, offers everyday essentials along with beer, wine, and fresh produce.

Established homes come with character
Many of Jamacha’s homes date from 1940 to 1985. The area is full of ranch- and Spanish-style options on winding residential streets. "They’re not really cookie-cutter homes,” Bernales says. “You’ve got different types of homes.” Properties are built fairly close together along sidewalk-lined blocks, on lots anywhere from one-tenth to four-tenths of an acre. They typically sell for $560,000 to $920,000, based on condition.
