ALL ABOUT THE NAME
When names were being considered for this growing community at the then-outskirts of San Diego, Inspiration Heights was one of the options. You can still find that name on one of the subdivision markers on Sunset Boulevard.
But Mission Hills, along with Mission Beach, Mission Bay, and a host of other locations in town, settled on the popular moniker. It has since been claimed by a range of businesses that seem to be partial to the association.
