Point Loma is the peninsula separating San Diego Bay from the open Pacific, home to Cabrillo National Monument at its southern tip and to Naval Base Point Loma, a roughly 22,000-person installation that shapes rental demand across the community. On city planning maps the area is officially the "Peninsula Community Plan," though everyone, including Gibraltar, calls it Point Loma. Housing ranges from modest Loma Portal cottages to bayfront estates in La Playa, which means every property here needs its own read on comps, tenant profile, and lease terms.
Why Point Loma Owners Choose Gibraltar
The City of San Diego's own planning documents refer to this community as the "Peninsula Community Plan," covering roughly 4,400 acres from Roseville-Fleetridge, the peninsula's oldest settled area, out to La Playa's bayfront estates and the Loma Portal neighborhood around Point Loma High School. That range of sub-areas means Point Loma is really several distinct rental markets under one name, and Gibraltar prices each property against its actual micro-neighborhood rather than a single Point Loma average.
Naval Base Point Loma, established in 1998 by consolidating six separate naval installations, now hosts around 22,000 Navy and civilian personnel, including Submarine Squadron 11 and the headquarters of U.S. Third Fleet. That base drives a meaningful share of Point Loma's rental demand from active-duty tenants on standard PCS timelines, which calls for lease terms and screening that account for military moving cycles differently than a typical civilian rental.
Liberty Station, the 550-acre former Naval Training Center that closed in 1997 and was redeveloped into an arts, dining, and retail district with its Mission Revival-era buildings preserved, has become a genuine lifestyle amenity for surrounding rentals rather than a decommissioned base sitting idle. Owners near Liberty Station, and near Cabrillo National Monument and Point Loma Nazarene University at the peninsula's south end, are renting into a market shaped as much by these institutions as by ocean proximity.
Some Point Loma streets, particularly in Loma Portal, sit directly under departure flight paths from San Diego International Airport at Lindbergh Field, a pattern locals have long nicknamed the "Point Loma Pause" for the mid-conversation lull every takeoff creates overhead. It is a real, locally known factor that prospective tenants ask about before signing a lease. Gibraltar discloses it upfront and prices accordingly, rather than leaving an owner to field the complaint after a tenant has already moved in.

Why Point Loma Property Owners Choose Gibraltar
Cabrillo National Monument marks the 1542 landing site of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, the first documented European landing in present-day California, anchoring the peninsula's southern tip.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse, built in 1854, remains one of the most recognized landmarks in San Diego and sits within Cabrillo National Monument alongside Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.
Naval Base Point Loma, consolidated from six installations in 1998, hosts approximately 22,000 Navy and civilian personnel and is homeport to Submarine Squadron 11 and U.S. Third Fleet.
Liberty Station, the redeveloped 550-acre former Naval Training Center that closed in 1997, now operates as an arts, dining, and retail district built around its preserved Mission Revival architecture.
Point Loma Nazarene University occupies a bluff-top campus at the peninsula's southern end, adding a steady base of faculty and staff rental demand distinct from the military tenant pool.
Frequently Asked Questions — Point Loma Property Management
Is Point Loma the same as "Peninsula" on San Diego planning maps?
+
Yes. The City of San Diego's official community plan for this area is named the Peninsula Community Plan, covering roughly 4,400 acres. Everyone, including Gibraltar, still calls the neighborhood Point Loma in everyday use; the official name only tends to come up in city planning and zoning documents.
How does the Navy affect the Point Loma rental market?
+
Significantly. Naval Base Point Loma hosts around 22,000 Navy and civilian personnel, and a meaningful share of the neighborhood's tenants are active-duty service members on standard PCS relocation timelines. That calls for lease terms and screening built around military moving cycles, which Gibraltar manages routinely in Point Loma.
What housing types are available in Point Loma?
+
It varies widely by sub-area: modest cottages and single-family homes in Loma Portal, some of San Diego's most expensive bayfront estates in La Playa, and condos and apartments near Liberty Station. Gibraltar prices each property against its specific Point Loma sub-market rather than a single neighborhood-wide comp.
Does aircraft noise affect any Point Loma rentals?
+
Some streets do sit under departure flight paths from San Diego International Airport, particularly in the Loma Portal area, and prospective tenants often ask about it. Gibraltar discloses and prices around this upfront rather than letting an owner discover the complaint after a tenant has already moved in.
