Top neighborhoods in San Diego

Gaslamp Quarter

This walkable entertainment district buzzes with rooftop bars, live music venues, and bustling nightlife. History buffs will appreciate the beautifully restored 1880s architecture and landmarks like the Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House. Dining options range from upscale steakhouses to craft breweries serving late into the night.
