Central San Diego
Homes for sale in Mission Valley, CA
A river valley of condos, shopping centers and easy freeway and trolley access.
Living in Mission Valley
Mission Valley is the broad valley of the San Diego River, a few miles north of downtown and crossed by Interstates 8 and 805 and State Route 163. It is one of the most central locations in the city, with easy access to most other areas.
Shopping and entertainment are concentrated here: Fashion Valley, Hazard Center and Snapdragon Stadium, the home of San Diego State University football. The MTS Trolley runs through the valley, and the San Diego River Trail follows the river for walking and cycling.
Housing is mostly condominiums and townhomes in mid-rise and garden-style communities, along with newer residential towers. Because most are HOA communities, compare dues and reserves, and check how close a unit is to the freeways.

Mission Valley questions
Why do people choose Mission Valley?
It is central. Freeways and the trolley make it easy to reach downtown, the beaches and the north side of the city, and there is a lot of shopping within a short distance.
What should I check about freeway noise?
Visit at rush hour and in the evening, and ask which side of the building faces the road. Orientation and floor level make a real difference.
