Around Fairmount Park

Other than Home Avenue, the area is residential. You will find quaint single-family homes on streets such as Ash, Juniper, Rowan, and Midvale Drive.

You will also find nice townhouses on the westernmost side of Ash Street, while the neighborhood also has a sprinkling of very luxurious homes. No matter where you choose to live in Fairmount Park, you can expect a quiet, residential vibe.

Fairmount Park has several casual restaurants along Home Avenue that serve Philly cheese steaks, pizza, coffee, and traditional American and Mexican fare. The neighborhood also contains several bakeries including a cupcake shop. However, trendy South Park is just several blocks away and has a thriving restaurant and club scene.

Since Fairmount Park is mostly residential, you will see lovely, mature landscapes, parks, and cute homes. Residents are often out walking their dogs and stopping to chat with neighbors. Of course, the views in Bayridge are stunning, with vistas of downtown, Coronado Island, San Diego Bay, and the Pacific Ocean.

Friday nights in Fairmount Park are generally quiet. The community is primarily residential so during the summer months you may encounter block parties and barbecues. The adjacent communities of South Park, Golden Hill, and City Heights have vibrant Friday night scenes with restaurants, clubs, music, and theaters.

This tranquil neighborhood is perfect for relaxing Sunday mornings with an espresso drink and the Sunday paper. Being so close to downtown, you could head to the Gaslamp District for brunch and then over to Horton Plaza for shopping. Residents here also greatly enjoy a relaxing stroll along the bayside trail that runs from Seaport Village to Harbor Island and Spanish Landing Park.

One of San Diego’s hidden gems

Paul S
I recently moved to Fairmont Park. It is a well maintained area. Extremely quiet. Several young families have recently moved in and are remodeling their homes. I also am in the process of completely restoring my home. No liter or graffiti. Nice large yards and many homes have independent garages. Like my own house. I was drawn to the area because of the lot size, proximity to downtown, South Park and all the major freeways. From my roof, South Park can be seen where home prices are easily 200-500,000$ more. So I find great value in my neighborhood.
