A welcoming community less than 15 miles from downtown San Diego
Beloved for its generous expanse of mountains and canyons across its eastern half, as much as its collection of cozy streets, Tierrasanta is known as the “Island in the Hills.” Longtime Tierrasanta resident and Realtor with Century 21, Carol Mundell, describes Tierrasanta as extraordinarily welcoming. “I call it Little Mayberry,” Mundell says. “The neighborhood gets together for special hometown events and it's a place where you really get to know your neighbor by name and be friends with them."

Homes here have that classic California style, with Mediterranean-inspired stucco exteriors, terracotta-tiled roofs and arched entryways. Densely built bungalows and estates on winding roads have tidy front yards lined with palm trees and some subdivisions have detached back garages with small sideyards while others have more spacious backyards with pools. Due to the community’s sunny climate, many homes have solar panels to help with energy efficiency. Homes here were built in the mid to late 20th century, and most have remodeled interiors. There are also condo buildings offering 2 to 3 bedrooms that typically cost between $700,000 to $800,000. Single-family homes typically cost between $1 to $1.5 million.

Residents have access to indoor recreation, athletic activities and hiking opportunities
This outdoorsy neighborhood has a lot to offer for residents who want to get into nature. The American Youth Soccer Organization hosts league sports in parks near schools and locals play indoor and outdoor basketball and pickleball at the Tierrasanta Recreation Center. At the center’s lighted fields, families gather for little league baseball or host parties at the adjacent Tierrasanta Community Pool. The neighborhood is situated on the edge of Mission Trails Regional Park, with trailheads on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Calle de Vida. The park is a hiker’s dream, with over 8,000 acres of rolling hills, 60 miles of trails and the modest Kumeyaay Lake, which has a campground and boating access.

A supportive community with a thriving commercial center
Tierrasanta Town Center is the hub of the neighborhood’s resources. Along Tierrasanta Boulevard, residents can get groceries at Smart & Final Extra!, pick up prescriptions at Rite Aid, send off packages, get a haircut and so much more. There are also locally loved restaurants here—residents can start their day with a baker’s dozen at Fresh Golden Donuts or grab a pizza at Gaetano’s. Residents can also head up Santo Road to get groceries at the local Von’s. Tierrasanta Village supports residents over the age of 50 with community resources like shuttles to the airport or help with errands, medical equipment loans or getting to book clubs and outings. Community gatherings are important here, according to Mundell. "In May, we have a parade and arts fair where community council members honor local citizens, and local businesses, organizations, schools and sport groups walk in the parade. At night, we have a barbecue and fireworks. We also have our own Oktoberfest with music and a beer garden and games. They also sponsor a series of concerts in the parks in the summer," Mundell says.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It is a very quiet and friendly neighborhood. I always see families on walks which is always nice to see. I do wish some of the traffic lights were censored especially at night. I am always getting stuck at lights when there are no cars around and I have to wait for every light. I relatively feel safe at night but I also don't go out too late at night. I enjoy the parks in the area and the air quality is fairly nice.

The quiet, closely knit nature of Tierrasanta makes it a great place to raise a family, yet the lack of diversity is notable.

A large concern is the public schools, notably Serra High School; practically half of the people you meet there do or sell drugs. The diversity was okay-ish. As one of about four black freshmen, I was often mistaken for any one of the other three black students. But, all in all, the neighbourhood isn't that bad.

Nice neighborhood to live in, close access to highways makes traveling places quick and easy. However some members of this community tend to be pretentious and are extremely unsafe drivers.
