This ZIP code is the heart of Downtown San Diego located on San Diego Bay. Balboa Park lies on a mesa to the northeast, surrounded by dense urban communities including Hillcrest to the north. The Coronado and Point Loma peninsulas separate San Diego Bay from the ocean. The original town of San Diego grew up at the foot of Presidio Hill, in the area which is now Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. The location was not ideal and in the late 1860s a move was promoted to "New Town", several miles south to the area which became Downtown San Diego. People and businesses flocked to New Town because of its location on San Diego Bay convenient to shipping. New Town quickly became the economic and governmental heart of the city. San Diego hosted two World's Fairs, the Panama-California Exposition in 1915 and the California Pacific International Exposition in 1935. Many of the Spanish/Baroque-style buildings in the city's Balboa Park were built for these expositions, particularly the one in 1915. Intended to be temporary structures, most were eventually rebuilt using castings of the original facades to faithfully retain the architectural style.

Downtown San Diego has experienced ongoing urban renewal since the early 1980s. This has resulted in the opening of Horton Plaza, the revival of the Gaslamp Quarter, and the construction of the San Diego Convention Center. PETCO Park opened in 2004. The North Embarcadero is slated to have parks in addition to a waterfront promenade. Balboa Park is scheduled to be linked to downtown. All of this has encouraged an explosion of residential growth and distinct multi-use neighborhoods (urban villages) such as Harborview, Little Italy, Marina, Horton Plaza, Gaslamp, East Village and Cortez that allow residents to live, work, shop and play in the heart of the city. Within the ZIP code 8% work from home, 31% walk to work and 9% take public transportation to work. There are now 22,500 residential dwellings but eventually there will many more.
