Distinctive architecture reflecting the origins of San Diego, generously proportioned homes built by civic leaders six to nine decades ago, winding streets lined with palms, eucalyptus, and wildlife canyons, good schools and great neighbors make Mission Hills one of San Diego’s premier communities. Mission Hills geographically neighbors Downtown, yet because of her topography and long time landscaping, provides a lush refuge from most of the bustle of city life. Mission Hills’ first home, at 2036 Orizaba, was built in 1887 by the daughter of the captain of the pacific coast sidewheel steamship Orizaba, on the Inspiration Point from which her father guided the ship into harbor. Some of our most prominent city forefathers developed this suburb in the 1920’s and 30’s. George Marston, Kate Sessions and J.D. Spreckels aimed to create an “Uptown Fine Home” area, in the leapfrog growth up the hill from downtown. Mission Hills has consistently benefited from her dual virtues of proximity to the heart of our City and the serene refuge of lush wild canyons, sparkling and breezy ocean vistas, and strong community sensibilities. Primarily populated by active business and civic leaders, doctors, attorneys and entrepreneurs, she also has a flourishing front-porch visiting tradition, little league system, 3 churches, and excellent primary school choices, private, parochial and public. Mission Hills architecture is a product of the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 1800’s, early 1900’s, where craftsmanship and natural materials were so venerated. In the 20’s and 30’s the romantic Spanish began to emerge in both bungalows and grand homes. There are a few of the 50’s “contemporaries” in the Frank Lloyd Wright vein, as well as svelte contemporaries of glass and wood. An occasional cottage blooms here and there. Ranging from moderate to estates, homes in Mission Hills do not cluster strictly by price, and her people mingle not only in the renowned restaurants and shops, but on the sidewalks and two community parks. Mission Hills is just strolling distance from world class cuisine, theatre, Balboa Park and the trendy Hillcrest venues. Or take a few minutes drive or healthy bike ride to local beaches or Downtown. This leafy residential community provides both the embrace of good neighbors and a convenient launching site toward high successful enterprises anywhere in town. A little while ago the newspaper told the truth: “People live in Mission Hills because they can”.
