Who We Are : Our Community

Emerald Hills

The community of Emerald Hills was developed in the 1920's as the Emerald Hills Country Club and Golf Course. Now populated by nearly 4,000 residents, many homes offer beautiful views to the east and southwest to the San Diego Bay. Its major streets include Euclid Avenue and 60th Street, which run north and south, and Market Street and Federal Boulevard, which run east and west.

Landmarks/Points of Interests

“I have been in this community more than 30 years. I have a panoramic view. I can see downtown and the Bay. I love it. There’s a quality of life here. For me, it’s about the people. I see them as part of my community family - How people support one another, look after one another. I grew my family here. I get out every morning, walk my dog through the parks. It’s a special place for me.”
