San Diego Overview
Once dismissed as a slow-growth, conservative Navy town graced with 70 miles of fabulous sandy coastline, San Diego has been evolving steadily during the past 2 decades. The military link is still a presence today, with a handful of large bases throughout the county. Yet the city -- California's first and the nation's seventh largest -- now hosts a diversity of neighborhoods and residents to rival Los Angeles. San Diego reflects its Spanish-Mexican heritage in every corner; you won't forget that bustling Tijuana is just across the border, less than 30 minutes away. Despite that city's infamous poverty, San Diego boasts one of the nation's priciest housing markets and a biotech/tourism/telecom economy that's firing on all burners. A full-fledged building boom is transforming formerly seedy downtown neighborhoods and architecturally rich suburbs into upscale wonders. And the stylish young residents and shop owners they attract are, in turn, updating and enriching San Diego's dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
