Bankers Hill:
Where Modern
Meets Historical

Perched atop Bankers Hill in the highly sought-after Park West neighborhood, The Barcelona is truly in the middle of it all. Just two blocks from the 1,200-acre Balboa Park, boasting gardens, walking paths, museums, theaters, and the world-famous San Diego Zoo, as well as walking distance to a plethora of hip bars, restaurants and cafés, Barcelona residents enjoy an urban lifestyle in a surprisingly tranquil community.

Neighboring Bankers Hill, the bustling communities of Hillcrest, Little Italy, and Downtown San Diego are easily accessible on foot or by bike. The Barcelona’s coveted location is ideal for dynamic individuals in search of a thriving urban location, while avoiding the noise, traffic, and parking headaches that plague many surrounding areas.

  • Indulging your Inner Foodie: As a resident of The Barcelona, countless dining options are at your doorstep including Cucina Urbana, Parc Bistro-Brasserie, Azuki Sushi, Mister A’s, Café Bassam, Extraordinary Desserts, Barrio Star, Wet Stone Wine Bar, and Books & Records, just to name a few!
  • Staying Active: Practice your sport at Balboa Park, where you’ll find baseball fields, tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, disc golf course, municipal golf course, archery range, public swimming pool, hiking/running trails, the Velodrome (bicycle track), and an off-leash dog park.
  • Eating Locally Grown: Browse fresh produce every Saturday (8 AM to 2 PM) and Wednesday (9:30 AM to 1:30 PM) at the Farmers Market in Little Italy, or on Sundays (9 AM to 2 PM) at the Hillcrest Farmers Market.
  • Easy Commute to Work: Direct freeway access to the I-5, 163 and 94, and just minutes away from Downtown, Mission Valley, and the 32nd Street Naval Base. Or, ride your bike or take an UBER right down the hill to downtown.
