It is bordered on the west by Highway 163, on the north by Mission Valley, on the east by Texas Street, and on the south by Lincoln Street. More than just a place on a map, however, University Heights enjoys a distinct sense of place developed with loving care and pride of place over many years.
Residents and visitors alike enjoy the intimacy, charm, and walkability of the neighborhood, which for many years was a well-kept secret. Today the word is out, and the café’s, restaurants, shops, and markets offer a lively weekend of shopping, dining, and entertainment, a friendly place for morning coffee, or a relaxing afternoon stroll. You will find art, music, theater, and special events as well as jewelers, realtors, hair stylists and more. Our outstanding schools, parks and churches complete the fabric of our community.
As one of the oldest districts in San Diego, University Heights has played an important part in the city's history for over a century. The name resulted from an overly optimistic 1880’s plan to build a southern campus of the University of Southern California. When the boom went bust, the State Normal School was eventually built instead. In time, it was renamed San Diego State University and later moved east. A rich and amusing history gives the community a unique character well worth learning about.
