Condos and student housing

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.
