What is the terrain like in San Ysidro?
San Ysidro is bordered by the Tijuana Open Space Preserve and river on the west. Otay Mesa West is on the north side, the Mexican border is on the south, and the Pacific Gateway Park is on the east.
This is a mixed-use neighborhood with commercial development and residential dwellings. Homes in the area consist of attached and detached single-family homes, apartment buildings, and complexes. Property is landscaped, but due to the dry conditions in this area, lush greenery and large shade trees are uncommon. The terrain is somewhat hilly, although grades are gentle and there are no steep slopes. Streets are lined with sidewalks, so you and your pet don't have to share the road with traffic.
The San Ysidro border crossing just north of Tijuana is considered to be the busiest in the world and brings heavy traffic through the community on two interstates that transect the neighborhood. Natural areas on the east side of the neighborhood provide rugged terrain on the borders of San Ysidro.
