Photo of Commercial Area The North Park Community is located in the central portion of the City of San Diego and is in close proximity to downtown San Diego. North Park abuts the community planning areas of Uptown on the west, Mission Valley on the north, Mid-City on the east and Golden Hill on the south.

North Park is one of the older urbanized communities in San Diego with original subdivisions being recorded just after the turn of the century. 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.

Today, with booming revitalization underway, the business district is recapturing much of the earlier magic that defined this proud and historic community. Efforts by the community in coordination with the City to redevelop the North Park Commercial Core area has attracted a variety of new businesses and has made the area around University Avenue and 30th Street a vibrant and pedestrian friendly shopping district.
