Living in San Diego
If you love a sunshine-filled, 75-degree day, this is the city for you.
San Diego is much more than its near-perfect weather. Our beloved county has 50 sun-soaked miles of coastline, a thriving food and arts scene, dozens of museums, and a major emphasis on health and wellness activities such as cycling, yoga, hiking, kayaking, and surfing.
Parker’s campuses are located in the Mission Hills and Linda Vista neighborhoods, which are within a couple minutes of five of San Diego’s major freeways. Our families and faculty live in over 80 different zip codes across the county. No matter which way you turn, there is a neighborhood close to our school for you to call home.
