Del Cerro is a centrally located, residential suburb in San Diego sandwiched between La Mesa, Allied Gardens and San Carlos. Located just 20 minutes from Downtown, Del Cerro, “of the hill” in Spanish, was established in the mid 1950’s. Views from Del Cerro range north to Mission Trails Regional Park and west out to the Pacific Ocean. It is common to find original homeowners or their family members still residing in their Del Cerro homes, giving the area a strong sense of community. With its close proximity to San Diego State University and the 8 freeway, highly rated schools and a wide variety of single-family home and condominium options, Del Cerro has consistently been sought after as a place to call home.
Residents often explore the outdoors in Mission Trails Regional Park (including the well-known Cowles Mountain), Lake Murray, Princess Del Cerro Park and the Del Cerro Pool. 4th of July fireworks are always a crowd-pleaser at Lake Murray with much support from residents and local businesses.
Award winning local schools include Hearst Elementary, Green Elementary, Lewis Middle School and Patrick Henry High School.
