San Diego County
  
San Diego County is home to the nation's seventh-largest city, but it also encompasses 18 incorporated cities. The city of San Diego comprises several charming communities — including the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, Hillcrest and La Jolla — all with a flavor and flair of their own.
The county is well-known for providing family fun, with such famed attractions as the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, SeaWorld San Diego and LEGOLAND California. But it also offers cultural activities such as the Cabrillo National Monument, where the Old Point Loma Light House still stands tall; Old Town, home to a historical museum and original adobes; and Balboa Park, the nation's largest urban cultural park, featuring gardens, galleries and more than 15 museums.
San Diego has a long military history, and it has a vast network of colleges and universities, including San Diego State University and the University of San Diego. Pro sports fans can have a ball watching baseball's Padres and football's Chargers compete against their rivals. And for those seeking an international flair, Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada lie a few miles south of the city along the Mexican border.
The 59-Mile Scenic Drive is a great way for visitors to become familiar with all that the city of San Diego has to offer. But don't miss the outlying areas: Regional terrain varies from mile-high mountains to the 600,000-acre Anza Borrego Desert State Park, with 70 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline scattered in between.
Nearly 3 million residents live in San Diego County, which spans 4,200 square miles. In 2000, the median value of owner-occupied housing units was $227,200.
