Neighborhood overviewNestled in the rolling hills of San Diego County, La Mesa is a picturesque city with a quaint downtown, tree-lined streets, and lots of character. Here you are surrounded by outdoor recreation opportunities, renowned cultural attractions, fun entertainment options, and easy access to retail and commercial areas. Plus, the area is famous for its near-perfect climate, walkable neighborhoods, family friendly experiences, and endless supply of everything needed to create an ideal vacation..
La Mesa is known as the Jewel of the Hills and the area’s abundant hiking and urban trails help tell the story. Just 5 minutes away is Mission Trails Regional Park home to Cowles Mountain and beautiful Lake Murray. The park’s rugged hills, valleys and open areas encompass more than 8,000 acres of both natural and developed recreational area with 60 miles of trails, and the lake offers swimming and boat rentals for fishing.
At 1,591 feet Cowles Mountain is the highest point within San Diego city limits. From the summit, on a clear day, you can see the ocean. You also can see into Mexico and the rest of San Diego County. The main trailhead is 1.7 miles away, at Navajo and Golfcrest, which has a parking lot and restrooms. From there, a trail goes up the western slope of Cowles Mountain. It is a three-mile round trip to the summit and back, with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. The trail cuts through brushy, rocky chaparral; on a clear day you can expect no shade but exceptional vistas. Take lots of water and sunscreen!
Mount Helix, 10 minutes by car, is another great hiking spot that offers panoramic views and on clear days you can see all the way to Mexico from its summit, too.
Be sure to also check out La Mesa’s "Secret Stairs", a system of public stairways in the Mt. Nebo/Windsor Hills area that are ideal for a good cardio burn when navigating the challenging steep ascents. Families with younger children will love Harry Griffen Park with its large grassy area, playground, and outdoor stage featuring summer concerts and more.
For fresh produce, the La Mesa Farmers' Market is held every Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on La Mesa Boulevard between Palm Avenue and 4th Street. A Vons grocery store is located 1 mile from the house, and there are several restaurants, shops, and a Starbucks within walking distance, too. Retail shopping options abound at nearby Grossmont Center (1.6 miles) and Parkway Plaza Mall (6 miles).
Hit the Pacific Beaches in about 20 minutes with several great options to choose from including Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores Beach, and Coronado Beach. For breathtaking views and the most amazing sunsets that you will ever see, visit Sunset Cliffs Natural Park – definitely an Insta-worthy spot you don’t want to miss..
