I lived in Hillcrest for a year or so.
As a San Diegan, it's odd to see Uptown listed as a neighborhood. It's not something I hear often and even when I Google "Uptown" the bar pops up but not a neighborhood.
I believe the Uptown area would be a fantastic place to live if you can afford it, are looking for a lively yet safe LGBT community to happily live your best life or are looking for an exciting change from planet boring.
I'll never get over how beautiful Balboa Park is, the museums filled with so much to learn and see, various events, the pride festival, Halloween trails, the fruit loop, and so much more. Great for runners. Many every morning (great morning view).
Like the rest of San Diego public transportation could be better. Parking sucks depending on the time of day or if there are events happening.
Great night life and eateries.
Growing up, I was told Mission Hills was La Jolla back in the days. I would say much like La Jolla, there are some beautiful homes.

San Diego is an amazing place to live. San Diego has the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, without the big city vibes. The general atmosphere is a laid back and beachy. Balboa Park and the Zoo are both musts. Balboa Park is a beautiful and fun place to walk around with yummy food and cool museums. Overall, San Diego has a lot to offer for all sorts of people, and I absolutely love it.
Mission Hills is known for being a safe and reliable neighborhood. However, there have been an increase in home invasions and robberies in recent months. Despite this, I have always felt safe in my neighborhood.
