Welcome to Bay Park/Bay Ho
Family-friendly neighborhoods in a convenient location
Bay Park and Bay Ho are adjacent family-friendly neighborhoods running alongside Interstate 5 to the north of Downtown San Diego. With Mission Bay and Pacific Beach directly to the west, these up-and-coming communities are conveniently located close to the beach, downtown, attractions, shopping, dining, and more.
The development of Bay Park began in the 1930s, followed by the development of Bay Ho in the 1950s. Both communities feature renovated single-family homes dating back to these periods, along with apartments and condominiums. Many Bay Park homes enjoy elevated hilltop views over Mission Bay. Along with immediate access to Interstate 5, transportation includes several bus routes and a future trolley line station in Bay Park.
