San Diego's Kearny Mesa is located on a wide, flat mid-city plain. It consists of mostly uninteresting office parks and warehouse and commercial areas. It does, however, include some (mainly 50's vintage) housing, and is one center of San Diego's Asian population.

[edit] By car

Kearny Mesa is bounded roughly by Miramar Marine Air Station to the North and the triangle formed by I-805 to the west and State Route 163 to the east. It is also home to Montgomery Field (ICAO: MYF), a busy general-aviation airport.

[edit] By public transit

The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), San Diego's public transit service, has a number of routes serving Kearny Mesa, most of them stopping at the Kearny Mesa Transit Center near the intersection of SR-163 and Clairemont Mesa Blvd. From here, bus routes branch out in all directions. Of these routes, Route 20 [1] and Route 120 [2] connect Kearny Mesa to Downtown San Diego.

A surprise find is Convoy Street, home to dozens of excellent Asian restaurants that cater primarily to the lunch crowd from the surrounding commercial areas. Having a job in the Kearny Mesa area can be a joy just for the ability to eat oneself from one end of Convoy to the other, and not hit the same spot twice in a month.

Kearny Mesa is also home to the San Diego branch of 99 Ranch Market - a mostly California chain of Asian supermarkets. Here you can come face to face with your dinner - live! The entire back wall of this full-size supermarket is the fish department - and many of them are still swimming. This is such a special and unique market that a local cooking school offers group tours.
