Mission Valley is a good central location that can get you anywhere in a decent amount of time. PB if you like drunks and winos and "lower class" folks bumbling around your neighborhoods. La Jolla if you want to be REALLY far north but with lots of hot rich UCSD girls. Hillcrest if you... well, I can't ask and you can't tell.
If you were single and don't live in PB you will regret it for the rest of your life.
I was neither single nor lived in PB, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. (although I love my wife and kid)
There is almost as much fine trim there per half acre as Austin. Almost.

La Jolla really far north of Miramar? Not so much ...
But you are right about those Hillcrest ass-cruhsers, steer clear ...
No, not Miramar. I just mean far north of ALL of San Diego proper. It's nice to be central and be a short drive from anything, than to be in La Jolla (which is great) but have an hour drive to get down to Coronado, or if you so choose, Chula Vista.
If I were single, I'd live downtown, and make friends with someone who lived in PB and had a comfy couch. Let them live amongst the drunks and the theft, and let me pass out on their couch after long nights in PB.
And when I wanted to go somehwere a bit nicer, I'd have the entire gaslamp in my backyard. If that's too far from Miramar for you'd, my next choice would be Mission Valley probably.
PB is great for visiting often, but IMO, not for living.

Well, I was just thinking of getting to work. That's what I get as a boring married-with-kids type trying to give advice to the single guys. What, no one wants to know where the best parks and playgrounds are at? :icon_wink
Back to my corner I go ... chase some tail boys!
Let's be realistic... the next day, you'll be picking yourself up out of a beach-side gutter, brushing the dried vomit out of your hand and trying to find your cell-phone.... just sayin'.

OK, I'm headed to SD in a few months, and after reviewing all the San Diego threads again, I have to ask: Are North Park and Hillcrest just terrible? Or do those of you who have bashed it just hate seeing gay people around? I haven't seen any criticism of it that didn't also reference its... well, larger-than-they-like homosexual population.
I'm going to do some neighborhood scouting next week when I'm in SoCal, so I'll see for myself, but so far from the whitewashed view of the internets the areas around Balboa park look relatively safe, affordable, and close to work.

Hahaha, O man, Let me tell you as a student at UCSD that hot and UCSD girls should not be used in the same sentence.
However, La Jolla is a nice area, little pricey
+1 to University City
Both are within 5-10 minute drive to MCAS Miramar

Hillcrest is actually fairly nice in terms of culture, really lively. There are lots of gays, yes, but it's interesting, and I have no problem with them. Just beware of gangs of lesbians that rape females, no joke. It's rare, but it's happened.
North Park is a fairly nice, quaint, diverse area, but has it's issues with crime here and there. El Cajon blvd is the worst area; it's packed full of prostitutes. Other then that, nothing major to my knowledge.
Either way, you're extremely close to all the cool stuff SD has to offer. Out of all the places I've been to in the World, Balboa park remains one of my favorite.
Just keep in mind that I don't live in those areas, I just frequent them. So take my word only as an observer.
+1, unless you dig no personality, zits, and buckteeth. But I'll be damned if those ladies don't find the cure for cancer or herpes some day.
You must be talking 'bout the girls from La Jolla Country Day School. In which case, be careful
