• Cortez

  • One of San Diego’s oldest residential neighborhoods was named after the famous El Cortez Hotel, which has been restored and converted into condominiums. Views include Balboa Park, San Diego Bay, the Pacific Ocean and the urban scene below. Victorianstyle homes populate the area, along with newer condominiums and apartments. The hill’s topography separates it from downtown’s hustle, yet its closeness makes it a very desirable address for those who want to live on the cusp of an active urban center. The character of this neighborhood is symbolized by the lavender blooms of jacaranda trees that line its streets and “Tweet Street,” a park that features artistic birdhouses and other public art.
