Inland from the hustle and bustle of the area’s more popular nightlife, business, and tourism center, Fairmount village is a quiet, relatively affordable suburban community in central San Diego. The northwest corner is the busiest, with the local grocery store, a public library branch, the rec center, and Rosa Parks Elementary School clustered together near the intersection of University and Fairmount.
With Clark Middle School located inside the neighborhood as well as Rosa Parks Elementary, it’s easy for local students to walk to class. For those times when you feel adventurous, Balboa Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and San Diego International Airport are only minutes away by car.
