About Bankers Hill
Bankers Hill, also called Park West and once known as Florence Heights, lies in uptown San Diego between downtown to the south and Hillcrest to the north. Balboa Park borders it on the east, and Interstate 5 and Little Italy are on the west. Some narrower definitions place it between First and Fourth avenues. Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues carry traffic through it between Hillcrest and downtown.
The name refers to the area's old reputation as a home for wealthy families. Many houses date from the late 19th century. Architects including Irving J. Gill, William S. Hebbard, Richard S. Requa and Hazel W. Waterman designed homes here in the early twentieth century, and some have since been restored as offices or bed-and-breakfasts. The Quince Street pedestrian bridge is also in the neighborhood.
South of Laurel Street and west of Fifth Avenue the blocks are mostly residential. A small commercial strip runs along First Avenue between Hawthorne and Juniper streets. From higher ground on the west side there are views of downtown, San Diego Bay, the airport, Coronado, Harbor Island and Mount Soledad. Bankers Hill is in City Council District 3.

Reviews of our Point Loma recycling center
Carmen Curry Fantastic, free e-waste recycling in central SD. Workers are always super friendly. Getting in & out of there is hard in a car though.
Edit: just dropped off something and was informed California now requires a small fee ($1-$10) to recycle items. $1 for anything over 3lbs (averaging about $3 for most items) $10 for the largest item: fridges. TVs are still free. Still a very small fee for recycling the items that shouldn’t/can’t go in the landfill. Love having Dream E-Waste local to me. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Thanks again Dream!
J D Friendly staff. Quick and easy.
Elizabeth Siegler Excellent service! So helpful and convenient, easy!!
Habeas Corpus Awesome place
Tim Boggs Only good things to say about them. They were super friendly and helpful. Kudos to the staff. Only thing I had to pay for was for a big can of old batteries. It was $2 so I’m not mad at all. I’ll be coming back for sure.
