…Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria wannabes need not apply


In the middle of a metro area crammed with desperate housewives, UH is an urban oasis in a suburban sprawl.

Centered around Park Boulevard, University Heights is a hub for all you’d expect from a neighborhood called hip and trendy—restaurants, coffee shops, live music, theater, bookstores and housing options ranging from historic arts-and-crafts bungalows to million dollar modernist creations.

With its close proximity to downtown San Diego and prominent art and gay communities, University Heights is the spot for those who prefer a walk to a drive, and a loft to a house. And, surprise…it’s well-served by buses!

In a part of the country where mono-chromatic houses grow in unending, tree-lined rows, University Heights is a true gem, and the residents intend to keep it that way. So wrap yourself in a rainbow flag, go Jackson Pollock on your old jeans, head down to Park Boulevard and join in a local protest against the hungry developers howling at neighborhood’s edge.

You won’t find the residents of Wisteria Lane hanging around here.
