College East is, as the name implies, located on the east side of San Diego State University. This popular neighborhood not only provides fast access to SDSU, but also to nearby Lake Murray, which is to the northeast of College East. Students can either walk to class or take the trolley, which has a station at the Alvarado Medical Center.
While College East is very popular with students, the neighborhood has good schools and easy access to I-8, making it great for families and commuters. Downtown San Diego is only about eight miles southwest of College East, so residents can quickly enjoy the city’s amenities and attractions. El Cajon Boulevard, which extends along the south side of the neighborhood, is lined with shops and restaurants. Popular destinations include Tokyo Sushi Loha, Dirty Birds College Area, and the Ugly Dog Pub.
