Vibrant Urban Living in East Village
East Village, once a collection of vacant lots and warehouses, has transformed into one of San Diego's largest urban neighborhoods, known for its notable architecture, cultural sites, and diverse nightlife. The opening of Petco Park in 2004 spurred a wave of high-rise construction, making East Village a hub for urban living.

The neighborhood is filled with bars, restaurants, and retailers, offering something for everyone.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
