North City

Urban Community
Dine + Arts + Events + Homes + Offices
Creating a culture of possibilities
A college town built around an urban square .

Imagine living in an urban oasis; a spot central to all North County, where you can walk to work, bike or hike the local trails, shop at the market across the street and meet friends for drinks down the block. A cosmopolitan center that sparks a strong sense of place and pride among the people who call it home. This is North City. A visionary development at the heart of North County San Diego. North City promises to be a hip, happening hub of mixed-use residential, retail and commercial space, attracting people of all ages and stages who want to live where they work, and stay where they play. Its compact area, strategic location, and amazing access to existing mass transit, make it the most exciting new development in San Diego County. Perfectly situated and meticulously designed, North City is a true testament to "smart growth"; a leading-edge, sustainable urban landscape, where residents walk to work or school, and then meet in sidewalk cafes or restaurants without having to use their cars; where people live above the shops, or up the block and across from the park. Where the doctor's office is next door to the dry cleaner, and the hotel is down the street. Where a variety of housing choices meet the needs of a wide range of residents - students, singles, couples, young families or retirees. North City is where you'll meet your neighbors in the many parks and urban squares, and where you'll take the local shuttle to your class at the university. And it's where you'll hike and bike on miles of urban trails that begin outside your front door. A place for all ages. A place for all stages. A place to be seen. A place to see. North City – a center for all of North County!
