Grantville
Condos and student housing
More than half of the housing units in Grantville are rentals. Condominium complexes and townhouses occupy the western side, while more apartments are to the east. These developments often provide amenities such as community pools and fitness centers. "Many homes closer to San Diego State University campus are investment properties that rent to groups of students," says Robert Brown, a local Realtor with Fantastik Realty. Union Grantville opened in 2023 as a major housing complex for SDSU students. Properties in Grantville, built in the 20th century, are listed for sale with interior upgrades starting at $400,000 and going up to $700,000. Although the housing stock leans heavily toward attached properties and multifamily units, a handful of ranch-style houses are found near the Allied Gardens community. Potential buyers can expect to pay between $725,000 to $1.2 million for one of these single-family houses.A casual dining and bar scene
The business corridors near Friars Road and Mission Gorge Road are central to the community. These thoroughfares lead to shopping and dining at Mission Square Center and Friars Village Shopping Center. Locals can source fresh produce from Mission Gorge Farmers' Market or shop for groceries at Vons supermarket. Locals can pick up a latte at S3 Coffee Bar and order a Philly cheesesteak at Gaglione Brothers Famous Steaks & Subs. Next door is a neighborhood gathering spot, San Diego Brewing Company. Fans of John Wayne can admire photos and other cowboy-themed memorabilia inside Longhorn Bar & Grill, a classic pub. After watching a game at Snapdragon Stadium, many flock to McGregor's Bar and Grill, a popular post-game day hangout.To Adams Avenue in late September
Less than 5 miles south, in the Normal Heights community, is the active Adams Avenue. "In September is the Adams Avenue Street Fair, the largest music festival in South California. It's a free, two-day event with seven concert stages and over 70 bands," says Dave Dennis, a Normal Heights resident and local Realtor with Coldwell Banker West.Strong schools with many academic programs
Kindergarten to fifth graders may participate in the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) programs at Foster Elementary or Juarez Elementary; both schools earned a B-plus from Niche. Students can also opt for the Dual Language Spanish Immersion Program at Juarez Elementary. Sixth to eighth graders head to Taft Middle, which has a B-plus, or Lewis Middle, earning an A grade. Patrick Henry High receives an A grade and offers Advanced Placement classes and college entry-level courses through Mesa College.Ample outdoor fun in and around Grantville
