Bankers Hill (also known as Park West and formerly known as Florence Heights) is a long-established uptown neighborhood near Balboa Park in San Diego, California. The area acquired the name "Bankers Hill" because of its reputation as a home for the affluent.[1] Many homes date from the late 19th century, some of which have been restored as offices or bed-and-breakfasts. Architects Irving Gill, William Hebbard, Richard Requa and Frank Mead designed homes in the area.
