The neighborhood surrounding San Diego State University. Northern boundary is marked by Interstate 8. Nice but plain neighborhood. Some homes overlook canyons. In some sections, remodeling have moved homes upscale. A neighborhood for the young and the single. Many students commute to the university but about 3,000 live in dorms and apartments on campus, and an unknown number rent in the nearby homes. San Diego City Council in 1993 approved a plan to upgrade neighborhood. University wants to build a "university village" that would cluster students near campus and get them out of streets with single family homes.
