The Golden Triangle and University City areas lie 10 miles north of San Diego. Their borders are defined by the I-5, I-805, and Rose Canyon. Originally developed as housing for employees and students of the University of California San Diego in the 1960s, University City has evolved into a middle-class, close knit neighborhood of families and kids, and young professionals who enjoy the proximity to the restaurants, bars, and shopping of University Town Center and La Jolla Village Square. UCSD Medical Center, La Jolla Playhouse, Birch Aquarium and many other attractions are close by. The residential developments mix with the sleek office buildings of the Golden Triangle, creating one of San Diego’s most popular areas.
Condominiums, apartments, and townhomes populate University Town Center and the Golden Triangle area. The number and variety of these planned developments offers something for almost every buyer, even the most discerning. Developed in the 1980s and 1990s, the planned community of La Jolla Colony offers a variety of developments including Barcelona, Valencia, Marbella, La Paz, Las Palmas, and Madrid, which include apartments, condominiums and detached homes all with a Spanish flair, ranging from the high $300,000s to the mid $800,000s. Renaissance, another newer planned community, includes Avanti, Capri, La Florentine, Toscana and Casabella, all featuring a Italian influences, common areas, swimming pools, tennis courts and other amenities, in a similar price range to La Jolla Colony.
Other condominium and townhome neighborhoods in UTC include Genesee Vista, La Jolla Playmor, La Jolla Mesa Estates, University Town Square, Vista La Jolla, the new La Jolla City Club, La Jolla Village Park, Cambridge, Cape La Jolla, La Jolla Eastbluff, La Jolla Southpointe, and the charming Spanish style Villas Mallorca. They all offer a variety of amenities including spas, exercise rooms, pools, and close proximity to UCSD and the shopping and nightlife of La Jolla Village Square and University Town Center.
By contrast to the condos and townhomes of UTC and the Golden Triangle, University City comprises a large number of detached single-family homes, most built in the 1960s to 1980s. Many of the houses are ranch style and feature mature landscaping with swimming pools. Located just minutes from the priceless beaches of La Jolla, University City’s homes offer spectacular canyon and coastal views. Ranging from the high $600,000s and up, the area consistently increases in value due to its proximity to La Jolla and easy freeway access.
