The College Area neighborhood centers around and is named for San Diego State University (SDSU). The
school began in 1897 as the San Diego Normal School in the area now known as Normal Heights. In 1935, it was renamed San Diego
State College and moved to its present location. In the 1970s, the college became a university, but the College name continues
to define the neighborhood.
El Cajon Boulevard serves as the shopping district for the College area and has recently
been going through redevelopment adding a new supermarket and many new shops and restaurants. The College Avenue median has
recently been landscaped with new plants and stamped concrete.
Other streets in the area have also been relandscaped
and improved. The College Area Farmer's Market is also available to the community every Tuesday afternoon at the old Albertson's
parking lot.
