Encanto/Paradise Hills

Geographically speaking, Encanto is San Diego's largest neighborhood, and home to over 60,000. East of Logan Heights, and west of Lemon Grove, Encanto has fallen under ill repute as an area of low-income and high crime. The hub of Encanto is Imperial Avenue, that runs right through itS heart. The Trolley East Line also runs through Encanto and Paradise Hills, a community just south of Encanto and bordering National City on the east.
