University City Real Estate

University City, a modest, middle-class area bordering La Jolla, is a great place to raise a family in a suburban atmosphere just near enough to the city. Parents choose to live here because of the great activities for themselves and their kids; they choose to work here because of the varied businesses in the area.

Many University City residents work in the office buildings that line La Jolla Village Drive. Those who commute downtown face heavy traffic, but a variety of routes; three freeways border the area.

The University City area is one of the most active in San Diego County. With four community parks, a giant shopping mall which includes an ice skating rink, golf courses, hiking trails, movie theaters and more, it's easy to stay in the area for amusement on the weekends. And University City is safe, so you won't need to worry about where the kids are. The public schools are some of the best in the state, and there are several private schools in the area and in nearby La Jolla that are also exceptional.

The University of California at San Diego, the institution around which University City was planned, provides great educational and cultural activities for residents. And the La Jolla Playhouse is one of San Diego's best live theaters.

Much of University City real estate is single family houses, mostly modest and middle class. The area is heavily influenced by nearby Rose Canyon, which breaks up the community and prevents it from overcrowding while providing scenic views and great outdoor fun. The streets are well landscaped and clean, and community solidarity keeps the neighborhoods beautiful. The median price of a University City home right now is about $680,000.
