Linda Vista Real Estate

Linda Vista's name means “beautiful view” translated from Spanish, and the name is certainly fitting. The community sits on top of a hill overlooking all of San Diego—right out to the ocean or downtown. Home to the University of San Diego, trademarked by its beautiful mission-style architecture, Linda Vista is one of San Diego's most established and noteworthy communities.

With 45,000 residents living in homes with mainly their original 1940s-style architecture (the community was originally constructed to house war workers laboring in the nearby aviation plants), Linda Vista has adapted to become a convenient place to live. The Linda Vista Shopping Center is the oldest in San Diego. But many choose to conduct their shopping in nearby Mission Valley.

Residents say that one of the best things about living in Linda Vista is its proximity to their jobs and entertainment. It is centrally located in the city, right off Interstate 8, and has its own trolley station. Both Mission Valley and the beach are mere minutes away. Being slightly north of the main artery of San Diego means that residents who commute to the north have an advantage over the traffic. And students are within walking distance of the university.

The homes of Linda Vista are mainly middle class. As of February 2006, the average sales price of a single-family home or condo was $475,193. The area has a significant Asian population, and the feeling of community is strong. While many of the neighborhoods surrounding this area cater to young single people, Linda Vista attracts mainly students while they're at school and families who want to settle in a safe, picturesque and convenient neighborhood. The value of Linda Vista real estate grows annually as more people decide they want to live in this beautiful community.
