Characteristics

Transportation

House buyers who value living in a compact community will be pleased with the reasonably pedestrian-friendly nature of Birdland; many day-to-day errands can be run without the use of a vehicle, and there are also a large number of businesses close by. However, Birdland is not very appropriate for cycling as cyclists are faced with quite a few hills, and the bicycling network is not especially well-developed. The transit in this part of the city is not very practical. Thankfully, homeowners are served by a few bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. However, getting around by car is very easy in this area. It is convenient to park, and most of the street infrastructure is well suited for cars.

Services

When it comes to eating, the closest grocery store in this area is usually only a short trip away. Furthermore, there are a fair number of options for those who value nearby restaurants and cafes. It is also a rather short trip to a decent choice of clothing stores.

Character

Birdland offers a great variety of green spaces to enjoy, despite its sometimes busy ambience. Green spaces, like Civita Park and Cabrillo Heights Park, are very well-situated and there are around 20 of them close by for residents to visit, which makes it very easy to reach them from most locations within the neighborhood. This part of San Diego is a wonderful area for those who don't mind some noise, as traffic can occasionally be loud during rush hour.
