Encanto

The Encanto Neighborhoods community is bordered by Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway (SR-94) to the north; National City and Skyline-Paradise Hills community to the south; Interstate 805 to the west; and the City of Lemon Grove and Skyline-Paradise Hills community to the east. This community includes the neighborhoods of Chollas View, Lincoln Park, Emerald Hills, Valencia Park, Encanto, South Encanto, Broadway Heights and Alta Vista

Encanto Neighborhoods community is located immediately adjacent to the Southeastern San Diego community area. This community shares some similarities with its neighboring community in terms of ethnic diversity, on-going revitalization efforts, in-fill development opportunities, and strong community involvement. It is predominantly a low-density residential community with more dense residential projects, commercial and industrial uses located near major streets in the core of Encanto Neighborhoods. The area is characterized by changes in topography that create some significant view opportunities. Transit is alive and present in the Encanto Neighborhoods with the San Diego Trolley station located near the Euclid Avenue and Market Street intersection.

Chollas Creek Enhancement Program

The City of San Diego is undertaking the Chollas Creek Enhancement Program as a key element in revitalizing this culturally-rich portion of the City. The goal is to create an open space system that lends identity to this area and provides a safe recreational and natural resource for the region.

Construction on two Pilot Projects for the Chollas Creek Enhancement Program has begun. Segment 2A is at the intersection of Market Street and Euclid Avenue and Segment 8 is adjacent to the intersection of South 38th and Alpha Streets.The scope of this project includes the removal of concrete channels along the creek, restoration of native vegetation and the creation of a linear park type setting with the inclusion of a trail system and an educational / interpretive element. This project will transform these two sections of the creek and the surrounding areas into positive open space features that the community can be proud of.
