Who We Are : Our Community

South Encanto

Named for the Spanish word "enchantment," South Encanto is situated on 640 acres in southeastern San Diego. Home to nearly 7,000 residents, it is bounded on the north by Imperial Avenue, on the south by Division Street, on the east by Woodman Street, and on the west by Valencia Parkway.

Landmarks/Points of Interests

"South Encanto is a neighborhood where people care about where they live. Most people own their homes and you can tell it is a place they want to stay. I also love the diversity in my neighborhood. Everywhere you go - at the park and when you are driving home - you see it”.
– Lefaua Leilua
