The Gaslamp Quarter is the historic heart of San Diego. It is a 16½ block historical neighborhood in Downtown San Diego and is the center of downtown nightlife. The Quarter is home to many events and festivals, the Convention Center, and most recently its main Fifth Avenue has become pedestrian traffic only between 12 noon and 2:00 am, which has allowed the neighborhood to become even more social and vibrant. PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres, is located one block away in downtown San Diego’s East Village. The area is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places as Gaslamp Quarter Historic District. Its main period of development began in 1867, when Alonzo Horton bought the land in hopes of creating a new city center closer to the bay, and chose Fifth Avenue as its main street. After a period of urban decay, the neighborhood underwent urban renewal in the 1980s and 1990s, and is today an energetic business and entertainment district. The Gaslamp Quarter extends from Broadway to Harbor Drive, and from 4th to 6th Avenue. It includes 94 historic buildings, most of which were constructed in the Victorian Era, and are still in use with active tenants including restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
