Golden Hill

A journal of San Diego

An east-of-Downtown neighborhood where terraces, canyons and varied buildings are more revealing than a single skyline image.

Keep the geography in view: the City’s Greater Golden Hill planning area contains both Golden Hill and South Park, as well as adjacent areas. Its overview describes marine terraces, canyons and an eclectic architectural mix.[7] The community plan supplies the finer context for neighborhood boundaries, development patterns and connections.[8] Our article focuses on how those conditions can be read at street level.

San Diego Taking Shape is CAST-owned. ALÜM’s official website identifies a CAST Development mixed-use residence at 1101 25th Street, at C Street.[10] We disclose that connection rather than presenting the project as an independent recommendation. Consult the property website for project information; this guide does not promise pricing, availability or views.

The skyline image is Downtown San Diego viewed from Coronado. It is broad city context, not a photograph taken in Golden Hill or a view from ALÜM.
