Contrary to what you might assume given its misleading moniker, University Heights is not where world-renowned schools such as San Diego State, University of San Diego or the University of California at San Diego are located. However, if you’re looking for a University Heights apartment home, this may very likely be preferable. After all, remember how loud your freshman dorm was in college?

University Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in San Diego. The area was first developed back around 1880, and even though San Diego State is no longer located in the area, it is still only a short drive away. So for anyone looking to further their education at San Diego State, it makes sense to rent one of the stylish and unique University Heights Apartments. There are also countless homes, adorable cottages and duplexes for rent in University Heights.

One central community meeting place in University Heights is known as Trolley Barn Park, so named after the trolleys that used to run in the area until the 1950s. During the lazy days of summer, this park is also home to a number of free outdoor concerts. While there are a number of restaurants and bars in University Heights, there are even more in the highly social Hillcrest and Normal Heights sections that border it.

University Heights is located in the heart of San Diego. By renting a University Heights apartment, you not only get to enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere, but you’ll be surrounded by the unique style of a neighborhood designed more than a century ago. Located just a short distance from the always-happening Hillcrest District, there is never a shortage of things to do.

And when you’re ready for a big change of scenery, you can always catch a flight to somewhere tropical at the nearby San Diego International Airport.
