Central to San Diego’s main draws

Set within the eastern Navajo community of San Diego, the Allied Gardens neighborhood is an enclave of rolling hills spanning 1,000 acres and bordered by Del Cerro and San Carlos. Likely due to the presence of the 55+ community, The Cliffs, as well as proximity to San Diego State University, residents here vary greatly in age, but still share similar hobbies. “Folks here value exercise and the outdoors,” says Alijah Bolling, Manager of The Cliffs. “The neighborhood is central to major outdoor hubs like Mission Trails, one of the biggest parks in California, and La Jolla Shores Beach. You can get to both of those places in less than 30 minutes.”

Winding streets over rolling hills are a hallmark of Allied Gardens.
