San Diego Mission area takes its name from the historic Mission Basilica San Diego de Acalca. At the far west end of Mission Valley, the landscape is generally green - hinting at its proximity to the ocean. Although all of the great amenities of Mission Valley are mere minutes away, San Diego Mission has the advantage of being equidistant to modern convenience and the Pacific Ocean. Other great places to find a home in Mission Valley are Escala, Fashion Valley, Hotel Circle, and Friars Road.
