North Park is a culturally diverse neighborhood, though it is predominately white (57%) non-married people with at least a college degree.
The median household income in South Park is $77,140 per household.
Geography
The geography of North Park is relatively flat which makes it ideal for residential neighborhoods. The only exception is Switzer Canyon on the south which allows the homes along it views of beautiful Downtown San Diego.
Real Estate Market
North Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods in San Diego, and as such is home to one of San Diego’s largest districts of Historic Homes, the North Park Dryden Historic District. The man who built many of them, Edward F. Bryans, has been classified as a Master Builder by the city of San Diego. The area is known for it’s Craftsman and California Bungalows, many of which are designated as historically significant homes. Of the 136 homes in the District, 104 were approved by the Housing Resource Board as contributing resources to the District. While the homes in this neighborhood are predominantly single family residences, there are also some small apartment and bungalow courts. The area is heavily gentrified and that trends looks to continue as it is one of San Diego’s most desirable neighborhoods.
South Park has a median home price of $576,000
