I am planning to move to San Diego from Tampa, FL in Januray of '08 and am starting to research the different sections of SD. I am a 28 year old female who works in the health field and am interested in finding a neighborhood (renting) that is young-professional (not student-life), urban, can walk my dog to a patch of grass, and can walk myself to a coffee house/restaraunt. Safety is also a big issue for me. Anybody have any ideas of places that fit that description??? Thanks a lot!

University Heights, really close to UCSD Medical and Scripps Mercy. Plenty of other medical facilities, (Labs, Outpatient Surgery, Rehabilitation etc). Those are all located in Hillcrest. You could easily bicycle to work, or take a short bus ride.

Hillcrest itself is too busy and urban for my taste, especially with a dog (though Balboa park might be within range of some apartments) but University Heights is walkably close to Hillcrest across the Vermont Street Pedestrian bridge. Trolley Barn Park is very close for the dog. Technically, not an off-leash area, but people play frisbee and catch anyway.

The neighborhood contains a core of single family homes west of Park and north of Adams. Between Texas, Adams, El Cajon & Park Boulevard, it is a mix of very small older homes (1910s-20s) and older apartment buildings (1950s-80s).

Limited Coffee shops and restaurants on Park Boulevard, but Hillcrest though a bit further is reachable by walking when you need to expand your choices.

All of the other neighborhoods listed above will work too. I just believe UH may be your best fit.
