Hey Everyone! I just wanted to do a quick post to see which areas are everyone's personal favorites for "up and coming" areas here in San Diego. Just make a list of your top areas, you can also add some explanations if you would like. I will go first...
1. El Cerrito (quick access to 8 and 805 freeways, just West of SDSU, diverse neighborhoods, commercial district with numerous amenities) 2. South Park (excellent local bars/restaurants/boutiques, short ride away from all the mainstream parts of downtown) 3. La Mesa (15+ parks and GREAT for hikers, unique style and character to the neighborhood, cool bars/restaurants that are exclusive to La Mesa) 4. North Park (perfect spot for someone with an active social life, extremely pedestrian friendly, constantly growing) 5. Normal Heights (arguably the most diverse neighborhood in SD, numerous festivals throughout the year)

I am not sure I would refer to any of these as up, but I expect them to out perform the county over the next decade:
- West Chula Vista: can you think any other city that closer to the coast is cheaper than inland? West CV has a large development project already funded that will revitalize the CV coastal area. - Imperial Beach: IB is cheapest beach area in US for hundreds of miles. - Oceanside: OB is 2nd cheapest beach front in San Diego.
Note my 3 choices reflect that coastal properties are in short supply and areas that do not reflect this are going to increase in value.
