Also referred to as Rolando Village, Rolando lies in the Mid-City region, about a 20-minute drive from Downtown San Diego. The neighborhood is located just three miles south of San Diego State University, so it's a great option for renters looking to be close to campus. Except for El Cajon Boulevard, Rolando remains largely residential. Rolando's curving streets are famous for their nostalgic, bungalow-style homes and charming, rolling hills. Rentals here are mid-range to upscale. El Cajon Boulevard is filled with restaurants, sports bars, and shops, so residents have access to plenty of amenities close to home.
