Point Loma Boulevard has a lot to offer you with its small shops that sell some ver ynice stuff at a cheaper price, and good quality food. This does not mean Point Loma area is cheap, on the contrary it is rather expensive place to live in as it is on the shores of Pacific Ocean. From a higher spot in the area, you'll see the ocean. It's breath-taking. The first time I saw the Pacific from Point Loma, I was like WOW!

Like many other places on the shores, you can find a cheaper rent if you really seek it out well, and enjoy the ocean breeze all year around. The other thing I liked about the Point Loma Boulevard most is that it has too many small places like coffee shops, fast food, and small shops everywhere. You really don't have to look for them and waste your time. I also noticed that many of the places around the neighborhood are owned by Asians especially by Indian people.

Ocean Beach is the closest public beach area if you were on Point Loma Boulevard if I am not mistaken. Like I said earleir, you will find many small shops selling souviners with local famous names such as Cabrillo. I would recommend the place for families wit children, however I have not have any personal experience living in the neighborhood. Shared here is just my thoughts about the place I have visited a number of times.

La Jolla Boulevard is a street in a greater La Jolla area. It is where the famous UCSD campus, its renown Medical Center, and Birch Aquarium are located if I were to name popular places on the street. The place is basically very expensive as upper-middle class people reside in the neighborhood, and most importantly it is close to La Jolla Shores, where you can watch sea seals basking on the shores, and enjoy the ocean waves and breezes.

Everytime I go there, I feel this high vibe. Am not able to express why I get that feeling. perhaps, it is because you see beautiful people everywhere who have nice tanning and super-nice smiles. The other thing you observe definitely is the beautiful apartments with no doubt expensive rents. Although on the north side of the street, there are some very old apartments such as Mira Monte which host UCSD graduate-level married students with kids. The place is extremely nice overall! (Although very expensive!!!)

Miramar Road is the street where the Marine Corps Air Base is located. Perhaps, it is where the name of the street is derived from. being said that, you will see the marines, planes, and helicopters regularly on every day base. It is a very noisy industrial street. Not only the military airplanes and helicopters flying over, but also the heavy traffic on the street altogether make it noisy. Miramar Road becomes Pomerado Road once you pass Black Mountain on the left, and goes all the to La Jolla Drive on the other end.

As I mentioned before, the street hosts the Miramar air base, and many other large and medium-scale private businesses as well. There are some big furniture stores, furniture exhibits, and storages. One of the exhibits has a very interesting shape and design, something in between the Tower Eiffel and the Piramid. It just looks gorgeous at night with its lights on. Actually there are many nice furniture stores on the street where some antiques and modern-day cutting-edge designed pieces can be found.

Apart from the stores, there are many small restaurants on the streets. You can try Japanese, Chinese, and American food here in the neighborhood. Gas stations on Miramar Road usually considered to be a little cheaper than the rest. I don't know why it is so, or how much their price is now. But there are three of them pretty close to each other, namely Chevron and Shell ones.

Those who commute to downtown San Diego from eastern side definitely pass by the street as it is conveniently located when you exit I-15 or 805. The street is not a residential area, therefore you would not find any amusements or entertainments. It is solely an industrial street.

Gold Cost Drive crosses with Black Mountain Rd from the major roads. The street is residential solely. It has various apartment complexes. Some of them reasobaly cheap for San Diego, and some not bad at all. As the street is residential, you will not find any public places such as entertainment center or a place to eat out in the first place. You will have to get to the Mira Mesa Shopping Place to have you serviced, which is not bad and is very close. It is actually in less than a mile distance from the above-mentioned place. However, you cannot walk there to eat out definitely, as it will take at least 15-20 min, I assume.

Concerning safety, the neighborhood is quite safe and quiet. Public transportation is available as Black Mountain that crosses with Gold Coast Drive is a mjor one.

On the north side of the street, there is a community college Miramar. Therefore, local students who study there, or many international students who go to Alliant International University (that is in Scripps Ranch) usually rent out the apartments in the neighborhood. Overal, not a bad place to live in. Although not very recommendable for families with kids. I noticed only singles who are students or young working adults live there.

Mira Mesa Boulevard is an extremely busy business street that extends beyond 10 miles in length. As it is a business line, the place is full of every imaginable business facilities including banks, shopping places, restaurants, government business offices, entertainment places, clinics, schools and everything. With this said, you should expect a very crowded image of the street. It is very crowded indeed! You'll find many of the private businesses being owned by Asians, especially by Vietnamese. That however does not mean that the whole place is a Vietnamese community.

I imagine the street was initially planned as a business place, however, it is now extended with residential areas with many apartments and houses as well. Those who had business in the place must have moved there to spare themselves their everyday commuting. Even though it has many schools and medical centers and clinics, the area is not for those families who prefer quiete country-styled residential area.

Scripps Ranch Boulevard is a basically in the heart of business center. Here you will find places to eat out, shop, work out, go to dance school, take yoga classes, and alomost anything you need in your everyday life.

To start with, Scripps Ranch Boulevard joins with Mira Mesa Boulevard which means you are in the center of everything! there is a very nice luxury but an expensive apartment complex on the corner of the boulevard. On the north side, you'll find Holiday Inn, a coffee shop, doughnut place where you can grab your favorite stuff any time.

Ladies, you will see a branch of AmericanLaser and many other beauty and hair salons. In addition to that, there are some very nice tanning salons namely Hollywood Tan and California Tan. Public Transportation is not bad as Scripps ranch Boulevard is connected with Mira Mesa routes. Right next to the luxury apartment complex i mentioned above, there is a medical clinic. I personally have not visited it, therefore, can not comment on their services and facilities. The parking place of the clinic always looks full, so i just assume it must be a good one. Even if you do not leave exactly neraby Scripps Ranch Boulevard, you can come here for almost any kind of services!

Hillery Drive is a ver nice street to live whether you are single or married with kids. First of all, the neighborhood is very safe, clean, and quiete as it is largely a residential area that is just a couple of houndred feet away from the Mira Mesa Shopping Place, which is the main and major shopping center in the greater Mira Mesa area. You can actually walk from your home to the shopping center to watch a movie; it will take less than 10 min.

The residents in Hillery Drive are mainly upper-middle class white Americans, although you will see Asians quite a lot, especially Vietnamese and Taiwanese people. The houses on Hillery Drive are very nice in terms of their exterior designs. Almost every house has a rose garden or at least some plants planted outside. During Christmas time, you will see fabilious Christmas trees a lot, and even rose bushes and other plants decorated! At night, they look really warm and cozy with all those lights on!!!

Since it is a residential area, there are not very many businesses located here, however you'll go outside and make a one or two turns and you'll find yourself in the shopping place where you can find places to eat, work out, banking, shopping, and manage other business of yours. A great place to live! I would deinitely recommend Hillery Drive if you're looking at real estates in the neighborhood!!!

Black Mountain Road starts from Miramar Road where the Marine Corps Air Station is located. From here you'll have some idea how the place can be noisy with all those military planes and helicopters flying over you all the time! Yes, it can be very noisy! Added to that, traffic can be heavy as well. The Marine Corps holds an annual show some time in the fall, in September, before which they prepare for extended hours!

From there Black Mountain goes all the way deep north to the Mira Mesa area crossing with Mira Mesa Boulevard, which is a major one. On the way there, it crosses with smaller streets such as Carroll Canyon, Gold Coast etc. By the way, right at the intersection of Gold Coast Drive and Black Mountain, there is a community park called Hourglass. Here you'll find couples with kids, and young people a lot especially over the weekend. even though it is right on the Blavk Mountain Rioad, it is not that noisy, and the park area is always clean and well-kept by the City of San Diego's public service. Right next to the park, there is a community college Miramar. And right across from Miramar College, on the west side of Black Mountain, there is a high school. Since there are a number of schools nearby, the drivers strictly follow the road signs and speed limit.

The street is very clean as it is common in San Diego. Black Mountain Road serves as a major road for local public transportation as it joins Miramar Road, which leads to downtown San Diego, and Mira Mesa Boulevard though which you reach Scripps Ranch area as well.

It is very conveniently located to the Mira Mesa Shopping Place. I am pretty sure all the households come to the place for shopping. The street is safe, not once have I heard of any dnagerous incidents, which is a plus!

Pomeardo Road is basically a very very long street extending from the vey beginning of Scripps Ranch through which you'll pass Poway area and ending in the entrance to I-15 in Rancho Penasquitos area. It was idvided into two separate streets: Pomerado Road and Old Pomerado Road. Old Pomerado Road extends to the ranch Penasquitos I mentioned above. Just Pomeardo Road is joined with highways such as I-15 N and I-15 S, Miramar Road etc.

The street is just a "street" in the full meaning of the word. It is a two-line road on both sides and there is this residential area called Poway which is a part of greater Scripps Ranch area geographically. Both mentioned names represent residential areas.

Now Poway has every facilties people need starting from child care to government offices. When Pomerado Road is mentioned, the first thing you'll hear is that this is the street where Alliant International University located. Even if you are not going there, you can't miss it as it is right on the street. The street also has a newly-established Thurgood Marshall Middle School right next to Alliant. It is a very nice place to send your kids to as its building, facilities and everything is brand new. The neighborhood is safe, with lots of eucalyptus trees on both sides of the street. It used to be very nice before the 2004 Cedar Fire that burned almost all of it. Since that fire, the place looks somewhat brownish as the green pastures were completely lost in it.

The public transportation on Pomerado Road is however null as all the residents commute to farther places, and it really seems that each and every single person owns a car. The only bus that serves is shuttle that connects Mira Mesa area with Scripps Ranch with its ending point being Alliant University. Therefore, do not look forward to using a public transportation if you're moving to the area.

Other facilities such as churches can be found on the street. Though there are not many of them. I clearly remember that there is Methodist Church on the north side of Pomerado, and one Protestant Church nearby as well. Deep in the Poway area, however, there are many Catholic Church facilities. Some of them are really gorgeous in terms of their exterior designs (I even entered on eof them only once, and it was just gorgeous!!!).

To wrap it up, Pomerado Road covers largely a residential area with many facilities, however for entertainment you'll have to go to downtown San Diego or at Mira Mesa Shopping Place. The street can be noisy at the peak of traffic to nearby living people as it is on the way to downtown San Diego, and traffic is really heavy early in the morning and in the evening with everybody going to and from work. That's pretty much about Pomerado Road!

Carroll Canyon Road is the street that crosses with Black Mountain on the west, and provides entrances to highways such as I-15 N and I-15 S on the east.

The street is generally very safe with a quite resident area. It has many apartment complexes such as Maya Linda Apartments, Maya Linda Luxury Condominiums, Maya Apartments. Besides the apartments, the street has many houses that seem to be owned by middle-class people.

The residents are largely comprised of white people with occasional Asian, Hispanic and black Americans. The residents in the are very friendly and extremely quiete even though the apartment complexes are usually full of students-tenants as the area is close to colleges. Speaking of colleges, one of the biggest universities in San Diego (it's actually one of the known universities in CA), Alliant International University or former United States International University is just a mile away from Carroll Canyon Rd. On the north side of the street, in less than a half mile distance, there is Miramar College which is a community college. Therefore, this location is ideal for those students who go to the above-mentioned university or college.

The rent on the street is reasonable for San Diego. One bedroom apartment ranges from USD 950.00--USD1050.00. The apartment complexes usually have swimming pool and hot tub area outside. the street is extremely clean. perhaps one of the pluses for Carroll Canyon is its clean and safe neighborhood. There are many gorgeous plants and various ever-green trees which decor the street all four seasons (honestly, i do not know their particular names).

The nearest and biiggest shopping center is the Mira Mesa Shopping Place. You will find various groccery stores such as Albertson's (it's huge!!!), Seafood, Long's Drugsrore, Ralph's and many other typical California stores. there are of course, Starbucks - three branches of them in the very same shopping place! And you will find Edward's Cinema which offers IMax. Apart from grocery stores, there are many great places to eat inlcuding AppleBee, Pizza Depot, Pick Up Stix, Greek Cafe, Panera Braed Cafe, and Borderland. To shop, you will find an Old Navy Store, Ross, and others.And all these places are within a reach from Carroll Canyon Road. I would say the shopping place is in less than a mile distance from the street.

Highly recommend the street if you're a student at nearby colleges!
