4927 Polk Avenue: San Diego, California 92105
This home is located at the corner of 49th Street and Polk Avenue in the northern portion of the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego, California. City Heights is an older residential and commercial area centrally located a few miles northeast of downtown San Diego and known for its ethnic diversity. The neighborhood has a mixture of smaller single family homes, small to medium sized apartment buildings, and a commercial area of locally owned shops and restaurants centered around the intersection of University and Fairmount Avenues. In recent years the area has experienced gentrification and redevelopment efforts, including a retail center anchored by Albertson’s Grocery and the City Heights Urban Village which consists of the Weingart Branch of the San Diego Public Library, a community and recreational center, Rosa Parks Elementary School, a new San Diego Police substation and a new community college.
