Hillcrest

Hillcrest is one of San Diego's most dynamic and walkable urban neighborhoods, known for its eclectic personality, thriving restaurant scene, and a strong sense of community that keeps residents fiercely loyal to the area. Situated just north of Balboa Park and minutes from downtown, Hillcrest offers the energy of city living with the warmth of a true neighborhood where people know their neighbors and support their local businesses. The real estate market in Hillcrest reflects the neighborhood's diversity. Buyers will find a compelling mix of classic Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial homes, mid-century condos, and newer luxury townhomes, with prices ranging from the mid $500,000s for condos to well over $1.5 million for larger single family homes with updated interiors and outdoor space. The neighborhood's central location and strong rental demand also make it a smart choice for investors. University Avenue is the commercial heart of Hillcrest, lined with an impressive variety of independent restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and boutiques that you simply will not find in more suburban parts of San Diego. The weekly Hillcrest Farmers Market is a beloved community institution, and Balboa Park right next door gives residents access to world class museums, gardens, and miles of walking trails. At NewTown Real Estate, we appreciate what makes Hillcrest special and understand the buyers who are drawn to it. Whether you are looking for a walkable urban lifestyle or a well-located investment property, our team is ready to help you find exactly what you are looking for in this one of a kind neighborhood.
