ALLIED GARDENS
San Diego Community Spotlight
If you are raising a family and looking for a corner of San Diego that is safe and beautiful, you need to check out Allied Gardens. This area doesn’t have the same name recognition as neighborhoods like Normal Heights, North Park, and University Heights, but it still has local businesses, excellent schools, and gives you a little more bang-for-your-real-estate-buck when it comes to square footage in a home.
Things to do
Allied Gardens may not have the nightlife that other neighborhoods have, but what it does have may be even better. The Allied Gardens Community Park has plenty for everyone to do. From June to October, you can enjoy free concerts every first Friday of the month. In the park, you can enjoy a community pool, playground, recreation center, and sports fields for your little ones (or—let’s face—for you) all year round! There is also plenty of shopping nearby with a Grocery Outlet in town, and delicious restaurants on Mission Gorge and Waring Road. For the outdoor enthusiasts, you can also spend the morning hiking Navajo Canyon and enjoying the San Diego weather. Allied Gardens pretty much has it all.
