Otay Mesa has a dynamic and evolving atmosphere that sets it apart from many other San Diego neighborhoods. As a major hub of economic activity, the community is anchored by industrial and commercial centers that keep the area busy with jobs, commerce, and cross-border business. This creates a sense of momentum and growth that’s easy to see in the number of new projects and businesses taking shape across the community.
