Looking for a tightly knit
working class neighborhood that is rebuilding itself into a
vibrant community with mixed-use projects and affordable housing?
Consider Logan Heights, population
29,000, known to insiders as Barrio Logan because it is a predominantly
(80 percent) Mexican-American community.
Single family detached
Logan Heights homes
prices in run from $350,000 for a two bedroom, two bathroom
home built in 1929 to $640,000 for a four bedroom two bath 1700
square foot house built in 1940.
Logan Heights condos
range in price from $234,000 for a two bedroom, one bathroom,
800 square foot home built in 1986 to $393,000 for a 1380 square
foot, four bedroom, two bathroom home built in 2006.
Logan Heights is home to the Chicano Peoples’ Park where
murals chronicling the social, political and cultural issues
of San Diego's Mexican-Americans are a designated San Diego
Historical Site and are internationally acclaimed for their
artistic value.
The community is plagued by high unemployment, a lack of social
services and overcrowded schools. Mixed-use zoning laws allow
polluting industries to be located near, and even beside, homes.
It was designated a redevelopment project in 1990 making it
eligible for federal grants but Barrio Logan’s children suffer
from asthma at twice the national average. Residents attend
monthly mini town hall meetings and the level of outrage runs
fairly high.
As a result of the renaissance in San Diego’s vibrant downtown,
residents fear developers may begin building bay view towers
in Barrio Logan pricing out poorer residents and, ultimately,
pressuring shipyard operations to the point that the Navy will
look elsewhere for a home to berth and repair its warships.
