A true success story in terms of community revitalization, Hillcrest has
blossomed over the past decade into one of the hippest, most happening
communities in San Diego. Nestled to the west and north of Balboa Park
from Park Boulevard westward to Mission Hills, Hillcrest is known
primarily for its wide array of award-winning restaurants, trendy
specialty stores, medical offices, two major hospitals, and the largest
concentration of gay and lesbian-owned businesses in the City. Those who
live here enjoy a wide choice of older homes mixed in with newer, upscale
apartments and condominiums. The Hillcrest Business Association throws the
annual streetfair bash known as Cityfest, which was originally held to
celebrate the restoration and relighting of the famous neon Hillcrest sign
at University and Fifth Avenues.
