Normal Heights’ Walkability: A Testament to Mixed Land Uses Smart Growth Principle 1

BY PAUL COOGAN (NORMAL HEIGHTS FOR SMART GROWTH) In our last installment, we discussed the overarching vision of Smart Growth and its foundational principles. Today, we will look at the first principle: mixing land uses. The concept of “mix” as an action verb implies a transformative change. Let’s delve into this change and how it applies to the vibrant community of Normal Heights.

Mixed land use, involving the integration of residences, businesses, parks, and libraries in close proximity, fosters a vibrant environment full of social interaction and physical activity. Taking a stroll to a nearby coffee shop, for instance, proves far more conducive to chance encounters and meaningful conversations than the impersonal drive-thru option.

The coexistence of services and amenities in close proximity reduces time spent in a car which saves fuel, maintenance, time, and the planet.

A less explored facet of mixed land use pertains to health and safety. Normal Heights has a Walk Score of 89 placing it in the top 10 of San Diego walkable neighborhoods. As walking is an exercise that is universally accessible, incurring no additional cost and having a destination encourages this healthy activity.

“Walking for 2.5 hours a week—that’s just 21 minutes a day—can cut your risk of heart disease by 30%.”

– Harvard Health Publishing (https://www.health.harvard.edu/exercise-and-fitness/walking-for-health) Furthermore, placing residential spaces above retail establishments cultivates an informal neighborhood watch system. With businesses bustling during the day and residences occupied at night, the community becomes less susceptible to burglaries and other crimes, fostering a sense of security and camaraderie among its residents.

The principle of mixing land uses Normal Heights has inherited the legacy of mixed land use from its not only enhances the practicality of inception. Many of the businesses lining Adams Avenue feature residences on their upper floors. This architectural feature makes perfect sense when daily life but also contributes to the considering the living conditions of the early 20th century. Back then, health, safety, and overall quality of not every household owned a motorcar, and public transportation was considerably slower. Thus, products and services needed to be within life of the community. arm’s reach, effectively merging commercial and residential real estate for enhanced efficiency and quality of life. Smart Growth revitalizes this simple concept, by embracing the integration of commercial and residential spaces for the betterment of the community.

However, mixed land use encompasses more than just retail shops. It must encompass a diverse array of services to fully nurture a thriving community. This includes schools, parks, libraries, and places of worship. In the case of Normal Heights, while it enjoys the presence of two elementary schools, it has room for improvement in terms of green spaces and library facilities. Fortunately, San Diego plans to procure over 8,000 trees, funded by the USDA, to enhance the urban forest. Additionally, the recently approved Library General Plan recommends replacement of the KensingtonNormal Heights Branch Library with a new facility ten times the size of the current one.

The principle of mixing land uses not only enhances the practicality of daily life but also contributes to the health, safety, and overall quality of life of the community. Normal Heights serves as a testament to the benefits of mixed land use by embracing its history while welcoming improvements to create a more sustainable future.

FOR LEASE

72 Apartment Homes Now Under Construction Here in Normal Heights!

INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UTILIZING USED SHIPPING CONTAINERS. So this new apartment building construction looks like one of the many new apartment buildings going up all over San Diego But the method of construction for these units is anything but ordinary-that’s because this soon to be 72-unit apartment building is being built with used shipping containers!

I was here onsite about 3 weeks ago when the shipping containers were being delivered and craned into place on top of the foundation-all the shipping containers necessary to complete this project were put in place in about ONE week I’m in the 2900 block of Adams Avenue, that is an L-shaped lot that sold to an LA developer called impact housing for $2.6 million in 2022.

The lot size is just over 8900 SF. As a point of reference, 30th Street is half a block east and Cantina Mihyuel restaurant is right across the street from this property.

In most cases, the containers have been pre-finished on the inside so very little on-site construction is needed to complete the units once they arrive on site-that can save 6-9 months of construction time.

”

Impact housing is doing several projects in San Diego. This will be 72 apartment homes that will be studio, 1 bedroom and 3-bedroom units. There will be 2000 SF ground floor retail.

This is a complete communities project: TPA bus stop right across the street.

Projected rental rates were not available as of October 2023 but based on similar projects in the Metro area, rents will probably be in the range of $2000-$4000/month.

Projected was started March of this year and completion is projected for spring of next year (2024). That would be a 12-month project-way faster than most apartment construction projects.

The advantage of using shipping containers instead of stick-built construction is the speed of which you can complete the project. In most cases, the containers have been pre-finished on the inside so very little on-site construction is needed to complete the units once they arrive on site-that can save 6-9 months of construction time.

If your interested in other shipping container projects, check out my YouTube video from last August about a 40-unit project being built in El Cerrito on El Cajon Blvd.

What are your thoughts about this type of project?

John and the rest of the Selby team were amazing. We sold our first home and bought a new one with their help and felt beyond supported. We felt cared for from the first meeting we had with John all the way through and after closing on both homes.

John was available, honest, clear, proactive, and patient. He sat with us through the tough decisions and balanced the line perfectly of telling us what he thought good choices were when making offers and responding to counter-offers. He was there when we had to make quick decisions and big choices but we never felt pressured or rushed into anything.

We were very pleased with how smoothly listing, getting offers, closing, putting offers on new homes, and closing on our new home went.

Deciding to move from suburbia to closer in town, I met John Selby at an open house. He helped me figure out the area that I really wanted, showed me homes, and helped me figure out what really fit me. The Selby team sold my home, helped me buy what I thought was my forever home. Life changes, and John ended up helping us with a total of 5 real estate transactions.

Always helpful and knowledgeable.

NOW in our forever home!

Thanks!

Joanie and John Selby are absolutely the best in the business. My father and I both used them for buying and selling 4 separate properties over the last 15+ years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. And if I needed to buy outside of their area, I would explicitly only use someone they would recommend. I was a first-time buyer earlier this year and knew nothing about what to do or even what I was looking for in a property, and Joanie helped me understand what to look for, what to avoid, and how my purchase can be used/helpful as an investment for the future. She has an insane amount of experience in real estate, and it was a joy to just sit and listen to her give examples for anything I asked. I’ve been in my new place a little over a month now and I’m thrilled with my choice, and I probably wouldn’t have been able to snatch it up without her help. The Selby’s are trustworthy and honorable while also incredibly skilled in real estate. If you are going to invest for a few decades or a few hundred thousand dollars having both those qualities might very literally save you a fortune. I cannot recommend them enough.

LEAVE A REVIEW

The Selby Team was the very best real estate team that I have worked with in all my previous home sales. They helped me in so many aspects of the home sale process. From preparing the home to marketing and more! From start to finish, they handled it all making sure things were being dealt with in a timely manner and professionally handled. John Selby covered all of this with us with professional and local area knowledge. The team took the extra steps to assist in overseeing a major renovation ensuring the work was done correctly and inspecting each phase of the way clear through to the end of the work.

John Selby took great care to listen to what my needs were and met them with no issues ever encountered. I was not able to be in the area so it was very important to have an agent who could be my eyes and ears. During the difficult negotiations, John was very effective and knew how to present our home and negotiate a contract in our best interests. The Selby Team brought in photography professionals who produced the best marketing showcase I have ever seen. Communicating in a timely manner was another one of his best qualities!

Every day I knew when showings were scheduled, by whom, and any feedback from the showings via a text message. I also received weekly reports that provided pertinent information so I could determine what the market was indicating on my pricing or if there were issues that required my attention. The home was sold very quickly and for the price I wanted.

I would highly recommend John Selby and his team to anyone selling their home as he is professional, creative, knowledgeable, persistent, and an area expert with great marketing skills.
