Old Town

Bordered by McKinley Avenue, National City Boulevard, 24th Street and 8th Street, this self-identified historic core is where Frank Kimball built the county's first modern house and later Brick Row, the 1887 housing he constructed for railroad workers.

Lincoln Acres

An unincorporated San Diego County community that sits entirely surrounded by National City's boundaries and shares the same 91950 postal code despite never having been annexed into the city.

Mile of Cars

The National Avenue corridor that once catered to sailors from Naval Base San Diego as the "Mile of Bars" was deliberately redeveloped into an automobile-dealership district in the late 20th century, closing its last Pussycat Theater in 1999.

Published cost and financing inputs

The same eye, as an actual inspection

Reading a listing from the desk is not an inspection. When you are under contract, the house still has to be walked — roof to slab, by an inspector.
