A vibrant residential and commercial neighborhood
in the urban heart of San Diego, North Park represents the City's
link to its past and the bridge to its future. Home to hundreds of
classic California Style Craftsman houses, North Park maintains its
strong residential character in its tree-lined parkways, wide streets
and charming canyon cul-de-sacs. The retro style of its major business
corridors along University Avenue, 30th Street and El Cajon Boulevard
hark back to the 1950s when North Park was considered San Diego's
primary suburban community, and today, with a booming revitalization
underway, the business district is recapturing much of that earlier
magic that defined this proud and historic community. Strong resident
participation and city and private efforts to redevelop the North
Park Theater, Aztec Bowl, and numerous other sites throughout the
community, along with North Park Main Street's efforts to attract
new businesses and make University Avenue more pedestrian friendly,
are just some of the ongoing projects which are working to restore
North Park to its original lustre.
