The City of San Diego's 555-acre North Park Redevelopment Project Area is centrally located within five miles of downtown San Diego and adjacent to beautiful Balboa Park. It is bounded by Interstate 805 to the east and Park Boulevard to the west and stretches as far north as Adams Avenue and as far south as Upas Street.
Redevelopment in the Project Area focuses on the revitalization of North Park's commercial corridors, with special attention paid to the revitalization of the El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue corridors. Historic preservation and public art are incorporated features within the redevelopment focus. There is a strong sense of civic pride in North Park, and for this reason the community is actively involved in redevelopment projects in an effort to ensure high-quality design and construction and to retain the historic craftsman-style homes for which the neighborhood is known.
