Cortez Hill in Downtown San Diego

As one of San Diego's oldest residential neighborhoods, Cortez Hill is named after the famous El Cortez Hotel, which has been restored into condominiums. Residents of this historic landmark enjoy some amazing views including those of Balboa Park and San Diego Bay.

The streets of Cortez Hill are peppered with beautiful Victorian-style homes. Newer condos and apartments complete the wide range of options available to those who love the energy of a vibrant downtown setting.

Though quiet, Cortez Hill sits on the edge of a thriving urban center. The lavender blooms of the jacaranda trees that line its main streets transport to earlier days of this community. But a rich history has not stopped some great development including Tweet Street Park.
