 North Park is located in the heart of San Diego, just north of Balboa Park. An older community, North Park has been undergoing a renaissance since 1993. New sidewalks, landscaping and an influx of arts, culture and entertainment make North Park worth a visit. RENOVATION
North Park is experiencing a renaissance. After many years of disinvestment, North Park has become a premier location for homebuyers and businesses alike. This is due to a number of factors, including North Park’s central location and proximity to downtown coupled with numerous regional conditions such as worsening traffic, sprawl, and overall market conditions. As a result of these factors, North Park has recently experienced a significant influx of development interest, especially within its downtown area. The community has already approved a number of significant proposals that will transform the fabric of downtown North Park. Among those proposals are:
North Park Theatre
Located between 29th and 30th Streets on University Avenue, the historic North Park Theatre is realizing its former glory as a regional destination for live theater. In October 2005 the North Park Theatre reopened its doors for the first time in two decades.
North Park Theatre Parking Structure
Across the street from the North Park Theatre, a four deck parking and retail structure will be constructed. The facility is proposed to integrate a highly flexible arts feature that allows original art to be displayed on the façade. The creative design will complement the burgeoning arts and culture center in downtown North Park. La Boheme (North Park) Condominiums
Located at 30th Street, Lincoln Avenue, & Ohio Street, the North Park Condominium project will be the largest development to be built in North Park in generations. Western Pacific Housing, a subsidiary of D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder, has submitted plans for a mixed-use project that would include over 200 residential units and 15,000 square feet of retail space. Walgreens and San Diego National Bank Building
Parking Garage
At 32nd Street and University Avenue, the two projects are being built adjacent to one another. The complex will consist of a one-story Walgreens Drug Store with adjacent additional retail space, an adjacent parking lot to the east, and a two-deck parking structure behind the bank. Construction on the parking garage began in October 2004. The actual Walgreens building will break ground in early 2006. North Park Library
North Park has been approved for a 25,000-square-foot flagship library. The Library Task Force has recommended locating the library at the corner of 31st Street and University Avenue. This is the location of the former Drowsy Maggie's coffee house.
With so many exciting projects already moving forward, the community of North Park is highly aware that a renaissance is occurring within our neighborhood. We also realize that with development comes opportunity to receive improvements in public facilities and infrastructure. Craftsman homes and friendly neighbors make North Park a place you may also want to live. Courtesy of www.Northparkmainstreet.com

First Time Buyers >Getting Organized
Looking at homes can become overwhelming for many prospective buyers. The properties start to run together, and you have trouble remembering which homes you liked a lot and which ones you didn't. Real estate agents use a few tricks that can help you remember what you have seen.
Usually the real estate agent will give you a copy of the listing with all the pertinent information. Write down one distinctive feature on the listing sheet that will help you remember the house. Maybe the house had unusual moldings in the dining room, a red door, or unusual wallpaper. If the house was particularly interesting to you, put a big star on the top of the page to remind yourself that you would like to see it again or even perhaps make an offer. If there are features for which you have a strong preference, or if you eliminate a house from consideration for any reason, be sure to tell the agent why.
Communication between you and the real estate agent is key. This will save you a lot of time and effort in your search because the agent will show you only the homes that meet your particular needs.
