Serra Mesa Reviews
Rating 3.82 out of 5 50 reviews
Serra Mesa is a great community with many friendly local and small businesses. There is a strong military presence in the community with affordable housing for those serving this country and their families. Consisting of a few Elementary level schools, a couple Middle Schools, and a high school there are some schooling options for families. Throughout the community there are the local police and fire department who are great throughout the community supporting local volunteer efforts. Also in the community are some community centers and recreational fields which many people can be found out enjoying softball, baseball, soccer, basketball and many other sports. If you are looking for a nice community with great citizens Serra Mesa is the place to go.
I lived in the military housing in which I always felt safe. I went to school a short walk away and had teachers that I’ll always remember. It’s less than a 10 minute drive from Convoy St. where there are tons of food options and some nice experiences to be had. It’s close to the 805 which brought me anywhere else I wanted to be.
Mostly safe, hill next to park by wegrforth elementary is dangerous as cars also get their windows smashed and broken into. Quiet and quaint with many food, store, and grocery options close by. Love that it’s so close to the hospital.
