BIRDLAND

About Birdland

Birdland is a neighborhood enclave within the greater neighborhood of Serra Mesa. It is wedged between the 805 and 163 freeways. True to its moniker, many of Birdland's streets bear the name of birds, like Cardinal and Finch.

History

Birdland was developed post-World War II, with the majority of its single-family homes built in the 1950s and 1960s. The ideal central location attracted many residents.

Today

Birdland is still a desirable neighborhood, both for families and professionals. Its close access to Sharp and Rady Children's Hospitals attract its employees seeking short commutes.
