Renting an Apartment in The College Area
What You Should Know
The College Area is a neighborhood of San Diego, California. The College Area
is dominated by San Diego State University, which was formerly San Diego State
College and previous to that San Diego State Teachers College, which the area is
still named after. The College Area is in the mid-city, and has many new stores
and restaurants, as well as many canyons. There is also an Orthodox Jewish
neighborhood in the area near Congregation Beth Jacob Orthodox Temple on College
Avenue.
Transportation
MTS (Metropolitan Transit System) operates the San Diego Trolley to SDSU and
Alvarado Medical Center, both of which are in the College Area. The Trolley
Station at San Diego State University as well as a bus plaza make up the SDSU
Transit Center. Bus routes 11, 11A, 13, 936, 115 go to the Transit Center, to
name a few. Transfers are made from the SDSU Trolley subway station located
under the bus plaza. Riders can go up to the bus plaza via elevator or stairs.
Traffic
Congested traffic is a consistent nuisance on College Avenue, the
thoroughfare in the area. During the school year at SDSU, freeway ramps are
heavily backed up. Since the July 2005 connection of the San Diego Trolley to an
underground station, congestion has subsided only marginally.
