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.

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.

Property Ratings at Palmilla
The management team is great, especially Lamonda! She was so patient and kind when helping me get through the application process. Seems like they really care about there tenants and future tenants. Overall high quality service, lease here!!
Property Manager at Palmilla, Responded To This Review
That makes us very happy to hear! We take pride in our wonderful and caring staff and are pleased to hear that Lamonda and the rest of the on-site team have been taking such good care of the residents. We love knowing when one of our team members went above and beyond to help a valued resident such as yourself. Thank you for choosing The Palmilla to call home. Have a fantastic day!
I’m not one to write reviews good or bad but I don’t think Villa Del Sol gets enough recognition. Property was taken over by a new property management who are nothing but kind and helpful. I love my unit and quiet. Only downside is street parking but welcome to San Diego. Lease here!!
Property Manager at Palmilla, Responded To This Review
Hello, thank you so much for your feedback, your kind words are greatly appreciated! We love hearing that you enjoy your quiet apartment and kind staff. We are so grateful to have you as a resident at Villa Del Sol!
This is the worst experience you could ever imagine living anywhere can’t ever sleep the ceilings are so loud and cockroaches
Property Manager at Palmilla, Responded To This Review

This is not the type of service we strive to deliver. We would appreciate you reaching out to us directly so we can help get this resolved at residentfeedback@havenresidential.com.
This place is perfectly located right next to SDSU and is clean and well maintained. But Jacque, the property manager, is what really makes this please great! She is super nice and communicative and gets things done! She helped us through every step of our lease and seems to really care about the tenants! Highly recommend!!!
Property Manager at Palmilla, Responded To This Review
Hello, thank you so much for your feedback, your kind words are greatly appreciated! We love hearing that you had a great experience with Jacque. We are so grateful to have you as a resident!
This apartment is amazing, and since I transitioned over to this one, it has almost immediately proven wonderful! Rooms are large, even for single bedroom apartments. A pool, gym, sauna, and yoga room are all provided. It looks more like a resort than an apartment complex, and not to mention the swift actions by on site staff whenever there's something amiss, like circuits that may be shorted or if the water doesn't work. They're on the case within the hour to fix it. I'd recommend Villa Del Sol to anyone looking for quality and pleasant surroundings!
