Mission Hills

Mission Hills is located on the hills just south of the San Diego River valley and north of downtown San Diego, overlooking Old Town and San Diego Bay. The City of San Diego describes Mission Hills as being the area north of Horton Avenue, South of Mission Valley, West of Goldfinch Street and Reynard Way, and East of the Old Town community area.

The famous horticulturalist Kate Sessions helped to influence development in Mission Hills. She founded the Mission Hills Nursery, which is still an active business (since 1910).

The main business streets are University Ave. and Washington St. Other major streets are Ft. Stockton Dr. and Sunset Blvd. Cross streets are named for birds, in alphabetical order from Albatross to Jackdaw.

For eateries in Mission Hills we suggest Bronx Pizza or Jimmy Carter’s Mexican Cafe. The neighboring community of Hillcrest holds most of the night life action but Lamplighter in Mission Hills is a local hot spot that has karaoke and good drinks.

Public schools in Mission Hills are part of the San Diego Unified School District. Since there is no public high school in the neighborhood, students are given the choice of attending Point Loma High School or San Diego High School.

Several private and religious schools are located in Mission Hills. The best known is the lower school campus of the private Francis Parker School, founded in 1912.
