Where is Mission Hills?

From time to time we may discuss different areas and neighborhoods on this blog, a popular one is the Mission Hills neighborhood, located in the 92103 zip code.

Mission Hills  is a neighborhood of San Diego, CA.  It overlooks Old Town (my home and the birthplace of California), and is close to the bay and North of Downtown.  The Mission Hills area was home to many pioneers so you will note the historical and architectural renderings throughout the neighborhood.

Captain Henry Johnston’s daughter (who guided his ship to Inspiration Point ) built the very first home inMission Hills naming it Villa Orizaba.  More homes followed and if you take a drive through the Mission Hills area, you will see that many homes have applied for the Mills Act and subsequently have the not only had the advantage of paying less tax but have a placard placed on their home.
