Encanto Condos for Sale

Encanto, a neighborhood in Southeast San Diego, exudes a casual, unfussy charm. Developed in 1907, it is the oldest of the eight neighborhoods in the Chollas Valley planning area. Encanto features gently rolling hills and a mix of well-maintained and less manicured lots. Housing options range from five-bedroom stucco homes built after 2010, mobile homes in the Summit Ridge gated community, to large Spanish-style and ranch-style homes from the 1960s. The San Diego Unified District serves the area, with schools like Encanto Elementary, Bell Middle, and Lincoln High receiving good ratings. Encanto Village on Imperial Avenue offers affordable housing, while the Black Arts & Culture District showcases vibrant street art and community events. The Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center and Park, George L. Stevens Senior Center, and Encanto Neighborhood Park provide recreational facilities, including playgrounds, a swimming pool, and a basketball court. Ringer’s Roller Rink is popular for family outings and adult skating nights. The commercial boulevard along Imperial Avenue features The Mental Bar, a Black-owned coffee and wellness shop, and eateries like The Caribbean Taste and Sammy's Mexican Bakery. Residents can shop at Imperial Food Supermarket and local boutiques. The $400,000 Streetscape Art Project has revitalized the area with murals and lamppost art. Encanto is bordered by California State Route 94, providing access to Downtown San Diego in 7 miles and the San Diego International Airport in 10 miles.
