About this home
* * * 1.17 ACRES WITH VIEWS * * * Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the foothills of Mt Helix, 1133 Emerald Heights Rd offers sweeping northern views of the valley, mountains and city lights, with a true country feel just minutes from everything.

A 2-car attached garage plus 6 open spaces means room for RVs, boats and toys. Energy upgrades since the last sale: a Tesla battery and additional Tesla solar panels, on a leased system for the buyer to assume. No HOA. Contact us today to schedule a private showing!

Mount Helix, located between La Mesa Village and Spring Valley, is a hillside and residential La Mesa neighborhood with panoramic views and winding scenic roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Mount Helix Park amphitheater, where stone terraces, trailheads, and sunset watchers set a calm, outdoorsy rhythm. Custom mid-century homes and contemporary rebuilds follow the ridgelines, with mature landscaping and long driveways shaping a private feel. Short climbs lead to overlooks, while canyons and open space keep the terrain front-and-center. Community pillars include the Mount Helix Park amphitheater, the La Mesa Depot Museum, and the La Mesa Community Center for local events and classes.
