Neighborhood

Extending from San Diego State University west to Fairmount Avenue, College West is home to many college students who appreciate the convenience to campus. The university occupies the northeastern corner of the neighborhood and student housing in this area is plentiful. Cross Montezuma Road and head south toward El Cajon Boulevard to find a quieter, more suburban atmosphere. Here, palm-tree-lined streets curve past attractive ranch-style homes with landscaped yards.

Most of the shops and restaurants in the neighborhood are located along El Cajon Boulevard. This is where you’ll find hotspots like Ackee Tree the real Jamaican Cuisine, the Living Room, Alforon Mediterranean, and RB Sushi. Attractions in College West include the San Diego Police Museum and SDSU’s Viejas Arena, home of basketball games and special events. Also located on campus, the Don Powell Theatre is the place to go for theatrical performances and films.

sucks

broken amenities, bad policies, nothing is good about this place

9/11/20

Not worth it

Bad internet, unprofessional stuff, air conditioning not working

8/6/18

Not worth it.

There is no privacy. The maintenance and cleaning team would enter any time. They'd just knock once. I went on vacation and found my xbox full of water from the ac and in a different position. They didn't cover any of it, instead, told me it was my fault. In addition, the place is really small for the price.

7/14/18

Beware. They do not keep their promises

Need your mail on time. Not here. Need a good meal under a meal plan...they can change it up mid year and you can't do anything about it. We chose this living location because of all they said they would do to support our's son's first year in college. Ended up a bad year because Suites did not honor their agreement and changed the meal plan and then would not let us out of the meal portion of the agreement. Very disappointed! You will be too!

8/6/15

Switch it up!

This apartment complex offers mostly SDSU student housing. The rooms are small, but perfect for a single occupant. The staff is pretty flexible and down to earth, and the students are surprisingly well behaved. If you're you're looking for a lively and eclectic atmosphere at a competitive price I would recommend the Suites on Paseo.
