Golden Hill is a San Diego, California neighborhood. Located south of Balboa Park, north of Sherman Heights/Highway 94 (M. L King, Jr. Freeway), and east of Downtown.
Golden Hill is one of San Diego's most historic and eclectic architectural zones, with many pre-1900's homes and apartments. In the 1910s, it became one of the many San Diego neighborhoods connected by the Class 1 tram and the freight system general San Diego sparked by the Panama-California Exposition of 1915 and built by John D. Spreckels. These cars became residential in this neighborhood until they retired in 1939. Street car, line number 2 operated until the mid-1950s.
The neighborhood is also within walking distance of City Center, City College, and many Balboa Parks. Automatic access directly from highways 5 and 94, Main line through the streets and buses are Broadway (East and West), and 25th Street and 30th Street (North and South). The Zip Code is part of the 92102. Pedestrianism, as in other urban mesa environments around Balboa Park, is relatively high compared to the rest of San Diego.
The now richer South Park environment is sometimes but incorrectly perceived as part of the Golden Hill neighborhood, but rather, it is part of the Greater Gold Hill Community. The South Park name dates back to 1870.
Artists and musicians have long liked this area, especially after being priced outside areas such as Little Italy, Eastern Downtown, and Hillcrest. Golden Hill is home to Black Box Recording Studios, The Habitat Recording Studios, Humberto's Taco Shop, Influx Cafe, Turf Supper Club, Krakatau & Pizzeria Luigi (featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Food's Food Network events).

Golden Hill is also home to the Women's History Museum and the Education Center, which recently celebrated its 25th year as one of the country's comprehensive women's history museums. Located on 23rd and Broadway, the museum offers a variety of current and historical artifacts, and information about the contribution of women from all cultures and experiences has been made to the world and the San Diego area.

This area includes areas of Fern and 28 roads on the South to Fern and Grape roads to the north, and from 30th Street in the west, east to the canyon. The school at 30 and Beech was originally called the Brooklyn School. The Presbyterian Church on the 30th and Fir was originally called the Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn Heights. The name was no longer used in 1981 when the invitation was extended to two churches - Brooklyn Heights Presbyterian, founded in 1921 and Golden Hill Presbyterian, founded in 1956 (on 22nd and Street Street) - to join as Christ United Presbyterian Church of San Diego and every church receives.
