San Diego County is very spread out, but it is broken up into smaller San Diego neighborhoods. Some of them make you feel like you are in a small town, while others are more urban and city-like... some are artistic, some are full of hippies, and others are upper-class. Almost anyone can find a neighborhood that suits their style here.
So how do you pick which one is right for you? I've gone through all the neighborhoods and listed the personality and highlights so you can decide for yourself.
