A very close friend of mine lived on this street and it truly was a one of a kind place. The street was very quiet and boasted a spectacular view of San Diego Bay to the east. There are two great parks nearby that are great for entertaining and getting together with friends as well. The street itself is quite steep in parts and did make parking a bit of a challenge at times when I had to park on the street. The homes were generally on the expensive side, but there were some more affordable spots as you got further down the hill as they did not have the spectacular views of the streets at the top of the hill.

I lived here for 4 years and loved every minute of it. It has breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean to the west and if you are lucky, great views of San Diego Bay to the east. There is relatively little traffic in the area, especially considering there is a university nearby. The neighbors are very friendly and you can often see them because the weather is so nice that people spend a lot of time outside. Overall this is a great neighborhood to live in if you can afford it as it is quite expensive to live there.

Sunset Cliffs Blvd. runs right along the pacific ocean connecting the Point Loma and Ocean Beach communities of San Diego. In order to live closer to the south, near Point Loma requires a lot of money as each of those homes is going to be at least above $1,000,000 if not more. But as it winds along the coast and enters Ocean Beach, the homes become more common and more residential. The traffic along this road in the Ocean Beach area can be a bit of a hassle during the weekends as many people from outside of the area come here to go to the beach. But overall, one of the nicest places you will find in all of San Diego.

I have never technically lived on this street, but my two best friends did so I have spent a lot of time in this area. Facing the west, Del Monte has an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean. The street is relatively quiet with little traffic most times of the day. It also has a variety of housing options from multi-million dollar homes to more modest beach bungalow type homes. The closer you live to the ocean, the closer the walk into downtown Ocean Beach which has some great little cafes and restaurants. If you can find a place on Del Monte and can afford it, it is a wonderful place to live.

W. Point Loma Blvd. has a lot to offer. On the east end of it there is a number of great shops, restaurants, and is a primary road getting around the Point Loma and Ocean Beach area of San Diego. As you go west, the road continues to get more residential as you enter Ocean Beach, a great little beach community. If you like the feel of a laid back, surfer type mentality and attitude, the west end of W. Point Loma Blvd. would be a great place to start your home search.

Rosecrans is the main street through the Point Loma peninsula area of San Diego. Over the last few years it has become a great spot for shopping and dining, but less attractive in my opinion for living. There are some residential spots along this main road ranging from brand new single family homes to old, historic looking homes that are probably 50-60 years old. If you like living in a more crowded, happening area where you can walk to restaurants and shops and don't mind the crowds, this may be a good place for you to look into living. But if you enjoy a bit more space and a few less people, I would stay away from living here. But there are some great places to eat...definitely try the Fiddler's Green!

Chatsworth Blvd. is a main road through the Point Loma area of San Diego. I lived right off of this road for approximately 4 years and drove it everyday. There are some very nice homes located all along Chatsworth but I would not want to live there simply because of how busy the street is. I had some very close friends who lived on this street and in the 3 years they lived there, they experienced two separate hit-and-runs as drivers hit their cars in front of their home and simply kept going. It is a nice area of town, but the road is simply too busy to live on for me and I definitely would not recommend this street for families with small kids.

Nimitz Blvd. is one of those streets that simply makes life easier. It runs right through the middle of the Point Loma area and leads straight into downtown if you go east and straight to the coast if you go west. It has many lanes and is usually traffic free most times of the day. There are a good amount of services available on Nimitz from grocery stores to coffee shops and restaurants, especially as you get closer to downtown. Really nothing particularly special about Nimitz, as it has few residential areas that I would mainly recommend for singles, but it is a main road that helps you get a lot of places around the Point Loma coastal area.

I lived on Quimby St. for about 4 years and it was fantastic. From the relatively quiet neighborhood, the friendly neighbors, the close proximity to freeways and shopping, it truly was a great spot to live. What I liked most about it is that you could walk to a couple of great restaurants and coffee shops, but it didn't feel like you were living in a huge megaplex type of area. The high school is located just a few blocks away but it was never a bother being so close. The only drawback was its proximity to the airport as you can sometimes here the planes going overhead.

I drove Catalina Blvd. approximately 3 times a week for about 8 years. It is a beautiful little street that runs right along the crest of the Point Loma peninsula area of San Diego. It is primarily all residential, with virtually no services of any kind except for a small gas station and bar that you probably wouldn't want to go in. Be careful of driving this street while it is raining though because it has a tendency to flood and it is very easy to get your car stuck (I've done it before!). Overall, I wouldn't mind living on this street at all.
