About

East Village is San Diego’s largest and most rapidly developing neighborhood encompassing 130 blocks. East Village burst into life in the past few years. It is the largest district downtown, located east of the Gaslamp Quarter and southeast of the Core district and Cortez Hill.

The East village was traditionally a series of warehouses and vacant lots. It wasn’t until the 1990s that it became a community for artists and social services. Residential aspects of the East Village became a reality in 2005,[5] after Petco Park was established.
