I love the proximity my neighborhood offers. I have 3 groceries to choose from within a mile radius. There's several restaurants to select from and all at different price points. Civita Park is gorgeous and offers such beautiful views of the city. It's centered in San Diego and everything is within a reasonable distance. The beaches are within a 15 minute drive, down town at least 10 minutes away. I would say that although the trolley being across the river is convenient, but just calls in too much homelessness. Unfortunately some of them may be drugged up and doesn't provide much safety around the neighborhood. it feels safe to walk around in the day time, I'd rate that a 9! Come night time, you need to be quite aware, rate that a 6.
Being in the center of San Diego has been nothing but a relief when needing to travel to any other part of the city. I much prefer this neighborhood to previous neighborhoods I have lived in, and I am born and raised here. The people are nice, it’s close to the trolley line, malls, beaches, everything! I wouldnt change anything about where I live.
i live in mission valley and i think is not a safe place to live like with your kids because there's a lot of homeless under the trees or the freeways or something like that. :/
I like Mission Valley for the sole fact that it has ease of access to every thing nearby. It is centrally located and close to the interstate. I would like to see the homeless situation improve. Sometimes it is very hard to feel safe in this neighborhood because there are a lot of homeless persons in this area that will steal your personal property. Safety should be a higher priority here.
Mission Valley is in the smack middle of everything.
From Qualcomm Stadium (now SDCCU Stadium) to Fashion Valley and Mission Valley Mall, everything is a quick 10-minute drive away.
Very high rated public and private schools are nearby as well, mainly focused in the Allied Gardens area, a quick 5-minute drive away. The area is of course usually very safe, no major violent incidents.
With the SDCCU stadium and the malls and river so close by, the rent can get pretty pricy. There are also a lot of different ethnic backgrounds here, and you can tell just driving through Mission Valley.
The only downside to this beautiful area is the San Diego River. Many homeless people hang out at night, making it a dangerous area to take a stroll. During the few rainy seasons we get, the river occasionally overflows, causing damage to some apartments and many roadblocks along the usual route home.

I love Mission Valley because it's in the middle and you have easy access to all the freeways and highways.
Mission Valley is a great area that has a little bit of everything, from grocery stores, malls, car dealerships, and restaurants, to beautiful apartment homes and hotels.
Mission Valley is a good place to live as long as you can afford it. The apartment complex I live might have great amenities and look pretty, but car break-ins, people running through stop signs, speeding, and accidents are a regular thing. The city itself looks very appealing, has excellent shopping centers and is close enough to downtown San Diego and the beaches without having to live there. A double income is a must in order to afford living here though.
Family friendly, lots of things to do, MTS Hub, Stadium and events happen here quite a bit. Unfortunately the homeless problem is just that, a problem.
Mission Valley is a fantastic place for the middle-class family to settle down in. With its close proximity to major shopping areas and malls, mission valley makes a great place to locate to. Less than a 5-minute drive to wholesale stores like Costco and IKEA, just past that are 2 large malls containing top name brands from your favorite companies. Mission Valley is considered to be the heart of San Diego, with it only be 15 minutes from the beach and right in the center of all the action down here in sunny San Diego. Come take a look and see what’s going on, once you visit, you won’t want to leave.
mission valley is a great place to live for the single, coupled or newly wed starting a family. there are many apartment complexes in this location, with most pretty up to date and renovated units. there are many restaurants, eateries, and shopping centers that are easy to get to. Mission Valley is very up and coming. New developments might cause some traffic in the area, but nonetheless you really are paying for location. You are 10 mins from downtown, 5 minutes from the beach, everything is easy to get to.
Everything all in one place! From great restaurants to high end shopping! Unfortunately this also means it is a high traffic area.
The atmosphere is nice and friendly, the site is beautiful it is a standard southern California community. The weather is always nice and traffic is minimal.
Excellent place to live that's just 10 mins to all over San Diego. Very central and commercialized with all the necessities one could ask for.
Mission Valley is perfectly in the middle of everything fun in San Diego. The beach is about 10 minutes away, downtown is 10 minutes in the other direction, and two malls are right in your location. It's beautiful weather and a very fun place to be. While it does lack in the cultural aspect, Mission Valley is still a great place to be none-the-less.
Mission Valley is about 15 minutes from downtown and the beaches. It is home to the Chargers Stadium for those that are football fans. It feels like a very centrally located area of San Diego which is very nice because there are plenty of restaurants and places to shop. Also conveniently located about 15 minutes from the San Diego International Airport.
I am new to Mission Valley, California. I have only lived here 3 months and I have to admit after living in Virginia for the last 10 years and Boston, MA 7 years before that; this is hands down the best place I have ever lived. Aside from the numerous places to shop and relax, Mission Valley offers a relaxing atmosphere where the people are just as nice as the places you can say. If you are new, small family, large family, this is definitely the place for you to reside.
