I love living here. There are so many things to do outdoors and lots of great food and shopping. I enjoy living within walking distance to so many different places. This is a beautiful community and a friendly neighborhood. From my location I can walk to Crown Point, Kate Sessions or the beach within 10-15 minuets. Summers are fun but there is nothing like this beach town in the fall and spring, less people (tourist) and great weather!
I love being so close to the beach! There are so many opportunites associated with the beach, from water sports like surfing lessons and paddle boarding and beach side restaurants. I spend a lot of my time especially on Garnet Avenue, the main street in Pacific Beach. I go to school very close by, so after school I go to Garnet to study, do homework, workout, and spend time with friends. I feel very lucky to live in such a nice place.
I love living so close to the bay, I run there mostly every morning. The location is really convenient, close to the 5 and the 8. It has a reputation for being a really big party town but there is also a large number of people up and being active in the early hours of the morning with me so it's not just all partiers. It's one of my favorite places I have lived so far!
