DEL MAR: What area fits you?
"Del Mar" encompasses many neighborhoods, each with their own personalities, zoning specifics, and strengths. Do you know the details of Olde Del Mar, Del Mar Terrace, Del Mar Heights, the Beach Colony and Rural Del Mar? I have lived and worked in this area for decades, and happy to answer any questions you may have.
Today, I am going to talk about the Del Mar Heights neighborhood, where I have lived and happily raised two children. Having sold many homes in The Heights, I'm a neighborhood friend and expert.
DEL MAR HEIGHTS: Convenience, Neighborhood, Schools
Overview
Del Mar Heights is a residential neighborhood just west of I-5 and right behind Olde Del Mar. It embraces two great elementary schools, Del Mar Heights and Del Mar Hills, and is home to fun restaurants, hiking trails and shopping. From a zoning standpoint, it is in the City of San Diego, and at the same time enjoys the 92014 zipcode and "Del Mar" designation, important to many residents with being coastal and west of the freeway.
The Beachside Del Mar shopping center has a Vons supermarket, CVS drugstore, Starbucks, and many fun restaurants and shops. You can walk there or make a short drive from homes in "The Heights" as well as to the Torrey Pines Reserve and Beach and the Del Mar Village and Beach.
Only a few miles to the South are UCSD, the famed San Diego biotech business hub, Qualcomm and dozens of tech companies. A mile to the east you'll find dozens of law and financial firms, too. Right next to I-5, most of San Diego is only minutes away.
Brief history
Decades ago, development of Del Mar Heights was controversial, opposed by the City of Del Mar and residents concerned about density and traffic. It was open space until "North City West" was finally approved by San Diego voters in the 60's and 70's as part of the push for post-war suburban expansion with coastal-adjacent housing. Luckily approval required infrastructure first, so streets, shopping, and schools were built in a thoughtful way that makes living there today convenient.
