North Park real estate agent for buying, selling, and ADUs.
I’m Zach, a real estate broker at Utmost. I’ve personally closed $201 million in home sales across 267 transactions, I work with North Park buyers and sellers, from Craftsman bungalows near 30th Street to condos along University Avenue, and I help owners plan ADUs here too.

Zach's track record
The North Park housing market
In September 2026, the median home in 92104 sold for $924,728, up 11.6% from a year earlier. Homes sold in a median of 27 days, for 99.0% of list price on average, and 89 homes sold, up from 79 a year before.
If you’re selling
Prices are up from last year and more homes are selling. Homes priced from the right nearby sales are selling for close to full price in about four weeks, while homes priced too high tend to sit.
If you’re buying
North Park offers early-1900s bungalows and Spanish-style homes next to Balboa Park, plus condos at lower price points. With prices rising, get pre-approved so you’re ready when the right home comes up.
If you own and want more income
Many North Park lots have alley access or room for a detached ADU or a garage conversion. Homes in a historic district need a closer look at design review before you plan.
North Park neighborhoods
North Park
Craftsman and Spanish-style bungalows plus newer condos around University Avenue and 30th Street, home to the North Park Theatre and a busy mix of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
Burlingame
A historic district of early-1900s homes on curving streets on the east side of 30th Street, next to Switzer Canyon and a short walk from the shops on 30th.
Near Balboa Park
Streets on the west side of North Park border Balboa Park, with Morley Field’s pool, tennis courts, and disc golf course and the park’s canyon trails close by.
Schools: most North Park homes are in the San Diego Unified School District. Check boundaries for a specific address on the district site.
North Park puts restaurants, shops, and Balboa Park within a walk or short ride of home, with I-805 and SR-163 nearby for the drive downtown or across the county. I’ll help you find the street that fits.
Adding an ADU in North Park
North Park is in the City of San Diego, so ADUs follow the city’s rules. Here is what shapes most projects.
- How many: a single-family lot can usually add one detached ADU, one converted ADU, and one JADU of up to 500 square feet inside the home.
- Size and setbacks: a detached ADU can be up to 1,200 square feet, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks.
- Parking: usually none required within a half mile of major transit. Much of North Park is close to frequent bus lines on University Avenue, Park Boulevard, and El Cajon Boulevard, but check whether your address qualifies.
- Historic districts: homes in designated districts, such as Burlingame and the North Park Dryden district, can need historic review of the ADU’s exterior design.
- Bonus ADUs: the city’s ADU Home Density Bonus Program can allow more units on some lots, but the City Council narrowed it in 2025 and added parking and fee requirements for many projects.
- Rules change, so confirm details with the City of San Diego before you design.
What clients say
“The process of selling our home was incredibly smooth and not stressful one bit because of Zach! Our house was only on the market for 4 days and we got $50,000 over asking!”
“This was our 3rd time selling a home and Zach was the best agent we've ever worked with. He has a dialed in process, he's organized and he's data driven.”
“We were told not to expect a “deal”—just to get in the market and start building equity. But Zach found us a steal.”
