Boundary Street in North Park is a little-known and very quiet neighborhood that used to be the eastern boundary of the City of San Diego. Hence the name. Surrounded by urban canyons on three sides, our street seems remote from the city and is full of songbirds, hawks, rabbits, squirrels, lizards, and in the winter, raccoons and coyotes. Yet it is close enough to downtown that if you want to attend a Padres game or the symphony you can drive ten minutes on surface streets and you’re there. Because Boundary Street is very long and dead-ends, we have little non-local vehicular traffic.
