Neighborhood highlights

So...where is the university? University Heights was named for the USC College of Arts and Letters that never really took hold. It was later called the Normal School in 1899 and after that, became the origin of San Diego State University. UH is most known historically for being the location of Mission Cliff Garden, a botanical garden developed in 1896 by John Spreckles and designed by the renowned horticulturist and landscape architect Kate Sessions. Sessions was also the designer for Balboa Park's landscape and planted most of the trees that still exist today in the park. If you travel to the opposite end of Mission Cliff Dr, you will see a round-about that used to be the lily pond in the old botanical garden. As you continue to walk around the corner to Adams Ave, you will see a somewhat crumbling wall made from local river rocks with a dark, decorative wood fence on top, which was the outer border of the botanical garden. The large Canary Palms that line the entrance to Mission Cliff Dr from Park Blvd, marked the grand entrance to the garden and the Bentley Ostrich Farm. Unfortunately, there is a destructive beetle trying to kill this species of palms in San Diego and the city has been fighting to keep what's left of them.

The Bentley Ostrich Farm occupied the area our house sits on today from 1904-1929. John Spreckles lured Harvey Bentley away from his Coronado location, to open on one end of the botanical garden property. Children enjoyed riding ostriches on the farm, until ostriches feathers fell out of fashion with the birth of the automobile. You will see a few references to ostriches around the neighborhood, like Bernadette, the larger-than-life sized ostrich statue who is the mascot of our street. On either end of the University Heights street sign on Park Blvd, you will see ostriches balancing on large eggs.

Trolley Barn Park, which is just around the corner to the South East of our house, was the site of the maintenance barn for the trolley line (circa 1907) that used to run down Park Blvd, from downtown and turned East to head down Adams Ave. TB Park opened in 1991, just before we bought our house. It won an architectural award called an Orchid Award shortly after opening. It hosts concerts on Fridays at 6 PM in the Summer months and is a great place for kids to run off steam, play on the playground, or to just enjoy the space. The trolley has become the biggest icon for our neighborhood's identity.

Recently, Park Blvd has become a hip hot spot for restaurants and bars and it's just a short 2-3 block walk to enjoy a diverse offering of cuisines: Mexican (El Zarape), Abyssinian (Muzita), Thai (Bahn Thai and Plumeria (vegetarian)) and American fare. Kairoa Brewing Co. has a New Zealand spin on beer and food, and a wonderful upstairs open patio dining space, Madison has lovely, higher-end fare, only open for Sun. brunch and dinner and Park and Rec is a very hip bar, with live music Fri. - Sun. Yipao coffee, located at the ground floor roll-up window of Kairoa Brewing serves a full range of coffee drinks, but has very little seating. Meraki Cafe has a breakfast and lunch menu, as well as a full range of coffee drinks and teas on Adams Ave. Check out their backyard seating area - it’s a lovely spot for a quiet, sunny meal. Good Omen Coffee is a newer cafe that took over where Twiggs Coffeehouse (a neighborhood landmark) had been for many years and it offers pastries and bagels. Mystic Mocha (a few blocks farther off Park Bl) also serves breakfast and has many specialty coffee drinks.

If you walk 3 blocks down Adams Ave past Trolley Barn Park, heading East, you'll find Soichi Sushi - a Michelin Star restaurant that requires reservations 3 months in advance.
