About the Neighborhood
Widely regarded as one of San Diego's finest neighborhoods, Mission Hills features elegant homes along tree-lined streets, a thriving business district, and above all, a strong sense of community. Adjacent to the vibrant neighborhood of Hillcrest and perched above Old Town and Mission Valley, Mission Hills is located just a few miles northwest of downtown. With its lush landscaping and winding canyons, driving into Mission Hills is like entering an oasis. However, its central location and easy transportation access means you are just minutes from all that San Diego has to offer.
Mission Hills has come to be synonymous with some of San Diego's finest examples of historic architecture. Its first home, Villa Orizaba, was built in 1887 and subsequent subdivisions such as Avalon and Inspiration Heights were developed in the early 20th century. Now collectively known as Mission Hills, these homes were built in a variety of styles including Craftsman Bungalows, Prairie Homes, and Spanish and Mission Revival, just to name a few. Some of San Diego's finest architects worked in the area, such as William E. Hebbard and Richard Requa. The architectural diversity of the neighborhood is one of its finest features today.
The abundant greenery and beautiful gardens of Mission Hills are also famous throughout San Diego. Much of the neighborhood owes thanks to Kate Sessions, also known as the Mother of Balboa Park, who opened a nursery in the neighborhood in 1910. Still in business today, the Mission Hills Nursery is San Diego's longest running nursery and a gathering point for community green thumbs.
In addition to its warm residential feel, Mission Hills has an active business community offering fine dining, shops and services within walking distance for its residents. Local business owners join residents as active members of the community, evidenced through multiple annual events celebrating the neighborhood's great history and continued success.

Extensively remodeled by an award-winning, internationally published interior design firm, this modernist estate centers on a stunning atrium and features five spacious bedrooms and four modern bathrooms, four fireplaces (including one outdoor fireplace), a media room with wine bar, three spacious patios, a soothing resort-style pool area complete with cascading waterfall, spa and cabana, and a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen. The chef’s kitchen includes an informal dining area and features Sapele cabinets, granite countertops, brilliant slate-and-glass tiled backsplash, and top-of-the-line gourmet appliances. The adjoining gathering room is anchored by a Brazilian slate-and-black granite fireplace. The focus of the nearby formal dining and living rooms are the sweeping vistas of the ocean, brilliant skies and canyon gardens by day, and elegant city-lights views after dark. Found throughout are soaring ceilings with dramatic walls of glass which further enhance the contemporary style of the home, and floors of gleaming rosewood and polished marble are an outstanding accent in this perfect place for entertaining.
The entire upper level is a master suite that includes a luxurious master bath and spa, a grand walk-in closet with custom storage cabinetry, a fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing expansive wraparound vistas.
