Often called the heart of San Diego, and with good reason. For here is where the components of a great city converge. Freeways leading north, south, east and west flow ribbon-like through the valley.

The San Diego Trolley is steps from your front door. Corporations large and small thrive in impressive business parks. Bustling hotels welcome visitors and residents alike with lively clubs and inviting restaurants. California’s first mission is located here. The roar of excited football fans fills the air at Qualcomm Stadium. Regional shopping centers—Fashion Valley and Mission Valley—entice shoppers and fun-seekers with a vast array of department stores, boutiques, eateries, game zones, and multiplex cinemas. Active. Up-tempo. Dynamic.
