North Park is known for three things above everything else: historic homes, walkability, and a local culture that has stayed authentic even as the neighborhood has grown. It sits about three miles northeast of downtown San Diego in the heart
of the city’s metro corridor. Zip code 92104 has become one of the most recognized addresses in San Diego real estate.
Historic Architecture
North Park is known for its historic Craftsman, Spanish, and California bungalow homes – most built between 1900 and 1940. Many qualify for Mills Act tax savings, which can significantly reduce property taxes for eligible homeowners.
Craft Beer and Local Food
North Park put San Diego’s craft beer scene on the map. The neighborhood is home to multiple breweries and was among the first in San Diego to embrace the farm-to-table food movement. Today, it has one of the most concentrated dining scenes in the city. See our full guide to the best restaurants in North Park and South Park.
