Mount Helix Real Estate

Mount Helix, a subdivision of La Mesa, contains some of the most coveted real estate in the area. The older homes of Mount Helix are almost exclusively single family, detached houses with beautiful views. But that is as far as one could go to characterize them. Each is an extraordinarily unique property—one of a kind mansions designed for the most discerning tastes. From the most postmodern architecture to classical brick homes, the houses of this part of Mount Helix are marvels.

Mount Helix's newer subdivisions are architecturally considerate as well. Many are Craftsman or Mediterranean style homes which reflect the warm climate and relaxed atmosphere around them.

The older developments start at around $500,000, while many of the newer homes and the more ornate sell in the million dollar range. The average single family home or condo sold in, February 2006, for $555,933.

Mount Helix used to be used for avocado groves, and this is still apparent in parts of the area. Many homes look out onto the trees, as some property owners have opted to keep this historic characteristic around their lots. Others have filled their property with professionally-maintained landscaping, and the neighborhood always looks neat and well cared for.

Homes at the top of the hill look out all over San Diego, and visitors come up Mount Helix daily to watch spectacular sunsets. Mount Helix also attracts visitors to its famous cross at Mount Helix Park, where sunrise Easter service is celebrated and people also come to hold weddings, parties, concerts and prayer services.

Residents send their kids to great public schools that emphasize science and technology. Local shopping includes Grossmont Center, the La Mesa area mall, and quaint small stores throughout La Mesa. Many Mount Helix residents commute to work in downtown San Diego, about half an hour away. A trolley line runs through La Mesa to downtown as an alternative form of transportation.
