North Park, a suburban enclave on the border of Balboa Park, takes pride in its clean, well-kept atmosphere. Most of its homes were built during the 1930s, when Balboa Park was also being cleaned up for the Exposition, and it has aged gracefully right alongside the park. Many of the trees in the neighborhood were planted then, and have matured to shade the neighborhood and give it a relaxed feeling.
Residents keep excellent care of their own yards, and the neighborhood is old enough to appear that each Craftsman home has a character all its own. The community is a safe place for kids, who play well into the evening riding bikes on the cul de sacs and around the fringes of Balboa Park. They also have access to a new recreation center, complete with a baseball field.
Neighbors get together at local coffee shops and run into each other on their leg of University Avenue, where the shopping is developing with a stylishly urban flavor. Stores along here sell clothing, new and used books and CDs and antiques. People come in from all over the city to wander University Avenue on weekend mornings while they have their cups of coffee. Many stick around for the shows at the North Park Theatre.
