City: Normal Heights
A mostly residential neighborhood on the south rim of Mission

Diego's early suburbs. Nestled between Interstates
15 and 805 just south of 8 gives easy access to almost anywhere.
Noted for a large number of antique shops and used book stores.
Named for the former San Diego Normal School, a teacher-education
college that eventually moved from what is now the location of
the San Diego Unified School District administration offices.

31,892. Median income $28,111.
One of San Diego's oldest suburban neighborhoods, Normal Heights
is a mostly residential neighborhood situated above the southern
rim of Mission Valley directly west of Kensington. Situated between
Interstate 805 and 15, the community is alive with a vibrant business
district filled with an eclectic mix of antique stores, coffee
shops, restaurants and used book outlets.
The local economy is nurtured by the Adams Avenue Business Association,
which oversees the Adams Avenue Business Improvement District
and sponsors two wildly popular two-day street gatherings, the
Roots Festival and the Adams Avenue Street Fair. The classic neon
Normal Heights sign that spans Adams Avenue is one
of six such neighborhood signs that grace the streets of District
Three communities. The community got its name from the former
San Diego Normal School, a teacher-education college that used
to be located at the site currently occupied by the San Diego
Unified School District administration offices.
