Neighborhood

Extending from San Diego State University west to Fairmount Avenue, College West is home to many college students who appreciate the convenience to campus. The university occupies the northeastern corner of the neighborhood and student housing in this area is plentiful. Cross Montezuma Road and head south toward El Cajon Boulevard to find a quieter, more suburban atmosphere. Here, palm-tree-lined streets curve past attractive ranch-style homes with landscaped yards.

Most of the shops and restaurants in the neighborhood are located along El Cajon Boulevard. This is where you’ll find hotspots like Ackee Tree the real Jamaican Cuisine, the Living Room, Alforon Mediterranean, and RB Sushi. Attractions in College West include the San Diego Police Museum and SDSU’s Viejas Arena, home of basketball games and special events. Also located on campus, the Don Powell Theatre is the place to go for theatrical performances and films.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
