Grand Avenue's revitalized downtown has breweries, restaurants, and the California Center for the Arts. Auto Park Way is one of the region's biggest auto dealer corridors. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park draws visitors from around the world. It's a mix of longtime residents, growing families, and commuters who trade the I-15 drive for affordable housing.
