Mission Valley is the ideal place to live if you're looking for an active neighborhood environment. Located at the geographic center of San Diego, Mission Valley offers an abundance of both daytime and nighttime activities. The San Diego River, which runs directly through Mission Valley, has always attracted settlers and development beginning with the Indians and continuing to its present status as an urban center for shopping, dining, hotels, and office buildings. In 1769, Fr. Junipero Serra, the founder of San Diego, located Mission San Diego de Alcala in the valley.

There are five major freeways connecting Mission Valley to other parts of the County-Interstates 5, 8, 15, and 805, and State Highway 163-so it's easy to get up and go at any time of the day to participate in a variety of activities throughout the year. For example, a short drive west takes you to San Diego's world-class beaches and Sea World; a 15-60 minute drive north takes you to La Jolla, Quail Botanical Gardens, and the Wild Animal Park; a drive south takes you to Balboa Park, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, downtown San Diego and Petco Park (home of the Padres), San Diego Bay, the airport (Lindbergh Field), Old Town, Coronado Island, and Mexico; and a drive east takes you to Alpine, Julian, and, occasionally during the winter, snow in the mountains.
If you do want to spend your days in Mission Valley, though, there is plenty to do: sports and other unique events at Qualcomm Stadium (home of the San Diego Chargers and the host for two major college bowl games) and major shopping and dining at Fashion Valley, Mission Valley, Hazard Center, Rio Vista, and Fenton Marketplace. With an abundance of free parking and several San Diego Trolley stations, events throughout Mission Valley are diverse and convenient. Fenton Marketplace boasts a new branch of the San Diego library. With its study and meeting areas, open architecture emphasizing natural light, and multiple computers equipped with high-speed Internet access, residents throughout Mission Valley, and even those visiting from other areas of the County, stop to take advantage of its great facilities.
Mission Valley has experienced significant growth during the last decade, and sometimes the apartments and condominiums seem to have taken over. Many of the newer complexes are gated and have workout facilities, swimming pools, tennis courts, park-like grounds, and shuttle services, and there are many biking, walking, and jogging paths along the San Diego River.
