Convenient to four highways, Tierrasanta is approximately 20 minutes from the core of downtown San Diego, the mellower of Southern California’s two major metropolitan areas. As such, residents have an easy commute to business districts in industries ranging from manufacturing to defense to wireless technology. In addition, Tierrasantans are less than half an hour away from a variety of major shopping complexes, beaches along the Pacific Ocean, professional sports venues and renowned colleges and universities. Also within driving distance are major tourist attractions like the San Diego Zoo and museum-dotted Balboa Park.
Though well connected to the big city, Tierrasanta is in sync with San Diego’s “City of Villages” concept and provides all the benefits of a dynamic, self-sufficient community. Small-town events including autumnal arts and crafts fairs and the Island in the Hills Golf Classic ensure that resources return to the community, with at least a fraction of the profits being donated to youth groups and other community organizations.
Cooperative spirit pervades the neighborhood and citizens stay active in the protection of their environment. A volunteer-staffed graffiti hot line helps keep the infrastructure clean. The skies overhead remain serene with the aid of involved Tierrasantans, who register complaints when planes above cause excessive noise. Similarly, the community’s continued emphasis on the preservation of natural open spaces and wildlife corridors reveals a commitment to the future.
Looking ahead, residents do all they can to ensure that the Tierrasanta of tomorrow will be like the Tierrasanta of today: a close-knit community where adults feel at peace when their youngsters play in the clean, safe, quiet streets.
