The area was previously known as East San Diego. City Heights has a high concentration of retail outlets, restaurants, and other examples of self-employment resulting from the newly arrived immigrant communities. Businesses tend to be smaller and wider spread than to the north and east. Like other urban neighborhoods north of Balboa Park, City Heights also has a high rate of pedestrian activity relative to the rest of San Diego. HistoryA short history of the City Heights neighborhood can be found on the City Heights Business Association website.[3] In the 1880s, Entrepreneurs Abraham Klauber and Samuel Steiner purchased over {{convert|240|acre|km2}} of unincorporated land that sat {{convert|400|ft|m}} above sea level northeast of Balboa Park in hopes of developing the area. Together they named it "City Heights" or the "Steiner, Klauber, Choate and Castle Addition" after the original developers of the property.[4] With the opening of the Panama Canal and the planned Panama-California International Exposition in 1915, the voters of the area voted for City Heights to become an incorporated city known as East San Diego on November 2, 1912. Population boomed in the next few years from 400 in 1910 to 4000 during the incorporation. On December 31, 1923, the City of East San Diego ceased to exist and was annexed into the City of San Diego, becoming once again known as City Heights.[5] The status of the city was in limbo throughout the early part of 1924, since the East San Diego trustees did not immediately recognize the annexation. Complete annexation occurred over the next few years with the City of San Diego taking over, improving or adding new services into the City Heights area. During most of the 1930s, 1940s, and the 1950s the area was an important commercial center. In 1959 the neighborhood began to experience a decline as Fashion Valley, Mission Valley and the College Grove Shopping Center siphoned off merchants and customers from the University Avenue and El Cajon Boulevard corridor. In November 1993, the city of San Diego proposed to build a new police station to address the rising crime rate. However, the city was strapped for cash and did not have funds readily available. Entrepreneur and philanthropist Sol Price pledged money for redevelopment efforts in concert with the city and his for-profit redevelopment corporation. The city and Sol Price's firm eventually opened the new police substation in 1996. Sol Price collaborated with SDSU to help students in City Heights attend college providing them with scholarships and supports. The 2000s saw redevelopment efforts continue and new public facilities open. New services were provided to residents of City Heights, including schools, a library and a community center. Crime rates also fell and a new urban retail village began serving the community. 2017 crime reports City Heights as significantly lower in both violent crime and property crime than Pacific Beach, North Park, Hillcrest, Gaslamp, and East Village.[6] GeographyCity Heights is large and diffuse, with many subneighborhoods. The neighborhood is divided into two pieces by Fairmount Avenue: City Heights East and City Heights West. The neighborhood is bounded by Interstate 805 to the west, El Cajon Boulevard to the north, 54th Street to the east, and Home Avenue/Euclid Avenue/Chollas Parkway to the southeast. "Downtown" City Heights is generally regarded as around Fairmount and University Avenues. The neighborhood is further divided into sixteen sub-neighborhoods: Teralta East, Teralta West, Corridor, Cherokee Point, Colina Park, Castle, Fairmount Park, Fairmount Village, Fox Canyon, Islenair (a city-designated historic district), Chollas Creek, Swan Canyon, Azalea Park, Hollywood Park, Ridgeview, and Bayridge. DemographicsPopulation stands at 102,593 as of 2018. Median household income is $39,647. Median age is approximately 30 years old.[7] Renaissance: New Developments and Real EstateAs with other older neighborhoods found just north of Downtown San Diego and Balboa Park, City Heights is enjoying a renaissance. In the March 2015 issue, San Diego Magazine named City Heights as one of the best places to live in San Diego.[8] City Heights is getting a public space called the Central Avenue Skate Plaza, a half-acre park that’s being funded with a nearly $2 million state grant, plus money from the city and the Tony Hawk Foundation. Spearheaded by members of the Mid-City CAN Youth Council, the project will include a 6,000-square-foot skating area, as well as turf and play sections. Already in place, the new Copley-Price Family YMCA at Fairmount and El Cajon includes a 7,500-square-foot gym, two pools, a soccer field, and demonstration kitchen in a LEED-certified building. In 2015, the music festival San Diego Indiefest took place in City Heights' Urban Village.[9] IndieFest features a three-day celebration of independent music, film, art, business and thought. It will have a wide array of visual art, activities, film, comedy, dance, food, beer and spirits. City Heights Nearly Tops List Of Hottest Zip Codes For County Home Sales in 2017. Home prices in the neighborhood are expected to appreciate at the second-highest rate in San Diego County over the next year, according to Zillow. The online real estate website predicts values in the 92105 zip code will increase 3.9 percent, a rate tied with Clairemont and second to the Imperial Beach region. Homes in that community are expected to appreciate 6.5 percent.[10] The community has undergone redevelopments. The local projects are a major focus of the Smart Growth strategy by the City of San Diego, which is funded in part by private organizations and philanthropic individuals, notably Sol Price (founder of Fedmart and Price Club). These projects concentrate primarily on education, crime reduction, economic improvements, smart urban growth, renewal of community pride and improvement of overall quality of life, while at the same time enhance the "melting-pot" identity for which City Heights is known. Recent projects that have been completed include the very first alternative fuel station in the city, a new retail complex with some mixed-use developments, several newly expanded and improved basic schools, a new "urban village" with a new library, a new police headquarter and a gymnasium, as well as a number of innovative uses of open spaces as parks. A significant addition to the neighborhood is City Heights Square Senior Housing Project on 43rd Street.[11] Completed in 2008 with subsidies provided by the Redevelopment Agency Affordable Housing Program,[12] the project provides critically needed affordable housing for seniors Twice a year FaceLift chooses a Neighborhood in City Heights and closes off the streets and renovates 12 - 15 homes by painting, landscaping, and cleaning up the surrounding area in a one-day event. FaceLift is a program of Community HousingWorks a non-profit organization connected with NeighborWorks America. Project CLEAN is another program with Community HousingWorks that provides graffiti supplies and clean-up organization to any resident that would like to get involved in making their community a better place to live. As a result of the improvements, population in the neighborhood has been on the increase, the redevelopment is now starting to focus on controlling growth. City Heights has been touted[13] next up-and-coming San Diego Neighborhood. Arts, culture, businesses and cuisineDue to the large cultural population of City Heights, a vast array of ethnic restaurants can be found in the community. Most are located along the main arteries of University Avenue, El Cajon Boulevard and Fairmount Avenue.

City Heights is ranked [14]a very livable city, with lots of local amenities, stable housing market and sunny weather.

Creating Community Through Art: City Heights is rich in murals and public art - The AjA Project's gallery space on Fairmont Avenue features photographs taken by immigrants. Stories of new generations of Americans are captured in the images displayed at the AjA Project's 4,000 square foot gallery and education center, located in a charming ranch style building that used to be the local branch library.[15] Markets & Gardens: Gardens and farmers markets are a City Heights mainstay, and you'll often find public art in the neighborhood's green spaces.

The Manzanita Gathering Place was built to be a creative refuge awashed in art at the opening at Manzanita Canyon, with canopies and columns incorporating mosaic tiles made by Azalea Park residents. Local artists have moved their businesses to Azalea Park and see this neighborhood becoming a vibrant arts community.[19] At the Azalea Community Park, local artists have created a unique oasis with the Water Conservation Garden, collection of succulent plants and creative sculpture.
