Living in Loma Portal

Loma Portal is a popular urban neighborhood in the center of Point Loma. Renting in the hilly streets of Loma Portal offers spectacular views and easy access to the rest of San Diego. It is less than 15 minutes away from almost everywhere you want to be in San Diego, whether that’s East Village for a night out or a day at SeaWorld with the kids. This neighborhood is near the North Island Naval Air Station and the Point Loma Naval Base, making it a great location for military families as well.

Renting in Loma Portal, San Diego

You’ll find a mix of smaller apartment buildings, townhomes, and single-family homes available to rent in this area. Many Loma Portal apartments are nestled in the hills and offer panoramic views of downtown and the bay. If you want to live outside of the hills and rent in a good place to explore the area on foot, look for apartments on Chatsworth Blvd. near Point Loma High School. From there, you’ll be able to walk to several restaurants or even ride your bike to Ocean Beach. If you’re searching for newer, more luxurious apartments, consider expanding your search to neighboring Point Loma Heights.

For potential renters in Loma Portal, the biggest concern for many is airport noise from nearby Lindbergh Field. Loma Portal is directly under the airport’s flight path, so noise is a pretty big concern from 6am until about 11pm. The restricted hours means you can probably sleep peacefully, but it’s best to spend some time in the unit you’re renting before you sign a lease. Most landlords have installed proper insulation and soundproofing, but it’s better to find out for yourself if there’s too much noise for your own comfort. The noise hasn’t deterred too many renters; Loma Portal is a very in-demand neighborhood and at any given time there may only be a few available rentals. Do your research online and have your paperwork ready to go before hitting the streets to search for vacancies. You’ll want to be ready to sign the lease on that perfect hilltop apartment as soon as you see it!

Things to do on Loma Portal

Although Loma Portal is small, you’ll find everything you need for day-to-day conveniences there and in the surrounding Loma Point region. You can head any direction from your apartment, and you’ll find something to do in just minutes. Head 3 blocks east and you’ll be at lively Liberty Station, the perfect place to spend an afternoon or just do your grocery shopping. Grab a beer at Stone Brewing’s massive new Liberty Station beer garden and then head to NTC Park and Promenade to catch a play, ballet, or new museum exhibit at any number of historical venues. Head south to Shelter Island for a fun day in the sun watching luxurious superyachts pull up to the marina - it’s also a great place to catch the Big Bay Boom fireworks display on July 4. When a day at the marina just won’t cut it, head west to Ocean Beach for some fun in the water or at cool cafes and local shops. And when you’re ready to explore the rest of San Diego, head just a few miles north to I-8 or I-5 for easy access to downtown, Balboa Park, or La Jolla. Loma Portal renters can skip the freeways entirely and still get to Little Italy, Hillcrest, or Mission Bay in just 15 minutes.
