Description of Local Area

Diamond Street House is in Pacific Beach, San Diego.

The Pacific Beach boardwalk is typically crowded with pedestrians, cyclists, rollerbladers, and shoppers. As the sun goes down and the tides change, “PB”, as it is known by the locals, reawakens with dozens of nighttime hangouts coming to life. Dancing, live music, grocery stores, a pharmacy, and bus #30 stop are all within walking distance from the Diamond Street house. Bus #30 goes directly to EC San Diego, or to the Old Town Transit/Trolley Center.
