Nestled across the highway from the hustle and bustle of North Park, Normal Heights and Kensington are self-contained neighborhoods able to create their own artistic charm and distinctively local feel. More diverse and more self contained than other neighborhoods in San Diego, Normal Heights quietly does things right.
