I'm not sure I would pick these 5. What do you think?
-
University City (UTC / 92122) — +15.7% YoY (July)
Why it should keep punching above average:
UCSD enrollment expansion plan (to ~56k by 2040), Mid-Coast trolley connectivity, and major life-science leases at Campus Point/UTC keep high-income job growth and housing demand tight.

Scripps Miramar Ranch (Scripps Ranch area) — +10.1% YoY
Why: Top-tier Poway Unified schools (A+ perception, #2 district in SD area), family demand, limited turnover—classic hold-and-appreciate submarket. -
Otay Ranch Village (Chula Vista) — +13.5% YoY
Why: Chula Vista Bayfront build-out (parks, hotels, retail) + progress on Otay Mesa East Port of Entry (trade/jobs & infrastructure) = employment base + community amenities rising together. -
Vista (92081) — +8.8% YoY
Why: Business-park and light-industrial growth signals (new facilities/investment), city CIP upgrades, and better $/sf than coastal—room for catch-up. -
Imperial Beach — +4.7% YoY
Why: The value play on the coast remains; city/Port projects (Pier enhancements, Bayshore Bikeway resiliency) enhance livability, and a high renter share supports investor math.
Quick reality check
Neighborhood-level YoY can be noisy (small sample sizes month-to-month). Use this as a screen, then verify with micro-comps, DOM, price-cut history, and your on-the-ground intel. This is from online sources, including ChatGPT. It is based on the actual appreciation from 2025 to 2025 and the projected appreciation from 2025 to 2027 for homes in the above neighborhoods/zip codes. Depending on how you rank the appreciation and the time period, results will vary. Call/text George if you would like numbers within a specific area at 619-846-1244.
