Redwood Village has condos and homes near San Diego State University
Like most neighborhoods in Mid-City San Diego, Redwood Village was built within a convenient distance of San Diego State University. The school is a source of education and employment for many residents, and it's less than 3 miles away on College Avenue. "If you're a student or work at San Diego State, it's ideal. You can head right up the road to campus," says Michael Montijo with OnQU Real Estate, a lifelong San Diegan. While it's not as old as the school itself, Redwood Village is one of San Diego's earliest suburbs, which can be seen in its 1950s ranch-style homes. Since then, the addition of condos and townhouses has catered to the college area's ever-growing student and faculty population.

Early suburban ranch-style homes and condo communities
Redwood Village has evolved to offer different living spaces for different lifestyles. "This isn't an expensive or inexpensive area. It depends on what you're looking at," Montijo says. "You can find a small home or condo that's a great deal in San Diego or pay a bit more for something more spacious." The neighborhood's suburban streets haven't changed much since their development — 1950s ranch-style homes still line the streets. Some are standard tract homes; others show subtle differences, such as Spanish-inspired tile roofs. However, all have front driveways and midsize backyards. These can range in price from just under $700,000 to $850,000. There are mostly condos on the neighborhood's north side near University Avenue. Two-to-three-bedroom units typically cost between $400,000 and $650,000. Some communities, like College Park, are gated.
Ranch homes make up the majority of single family homes in Redwood Village.
