A very active community council

Community is the biggest part of this small neighborhood seven miles east of downtown San Diego. Broadway Heights’ youth council was responsible for renaming Weston Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Way, the first street in San Diego to be named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Broadway Heights Community Council has played a vital role in keeping the neighborhood’s crime rate among the lowest in the county. The council also runs a program in which youth members are mentored, tutored and assisted in developing leadership skills. “That area is a lot more family-oriented than most,” says Simon Tran, a DT America Realty licensed realtor with two years of experience selling homes in the area. “You’re not going to see a lot of young couples or individuals renting there. You’ll see a lot of families with younger kids.”

From royale with cheese to Royal Pearl Tea

Less than two miles away, College Grove Mall offers big box stores like Target and Walmart for everyday essentials. The shopping center also holds a Starbucks and a McDonald’s, but Rubio’s Coastal Grill adds local flavor to the mix with their fish tacos. Just off Broadway, Lemon Grove Plaza and its surrounding streets offer a selection of chain and local restaurants alongside specialized national brands like GameStop, Petco and CVS. Residents who prefer to support locally-owned restaurants can try the pho at Pho Royal or grab an iced coffee at Royal Pearl Tea. “You can kind of get to anything you need within a fifteen-minute drive,” Tran says. “So even if there isn’t a lot to do within a five-mile radius, you can still do all the fun stuff that San Diego has to offer.”
