Mission Hills....The Historic Homes & Beautiful Neighborhood of Flat Ground

Mission Hills was subdivided in 1908, and over the years, some of San Diego's premier architects designed homes in the neighborhood, including Richard Requa, William E. Hebbard, William Templeton Johnson, Emmor Brooke Weaver, Nathan Rigdon, and Joel E. Brown. More modern homes were built along the canyon rims by well-known architects Lloyd Ruocco, Homer Delawie, John Lloyd Wright and Sim Bruce Richards. The local horticulturalist Kate Sessions helped to influence development in Mission Hills and founded the Mission Hills Nursery, which is still an active business (since 1910). Old stately homes, quaint craftsman bungalows, and large mansions - all immaculately manicured on quiet streets give Mission Hills its appeal. And...I am still looking for the house with the moat and drawbridge I found once years ago. Mission Hills is what your ideal neighborhood would be, and should be, before modern developers turned suburbia into faceless, cookie-cutter, subdivisions. Come on....What are you waiting for...Join us for the fun, friendship and working the booty. This is a great beginner walk with beautiful homes to see....mostly flat ground and we will be putting some miles behind us.
