University City has a loose boundary that sometimes gets confused with La Jolla. UCSD (University of California San Diego) straddles Interstate 5 with La Jolla on the west and University City on the east, so many surrounding merchants use ‘La Jolla’ to describe their locale. This village is bordered on the west by Interstate 5 and on the east by Interstate 805. The northern border is roughly La Jolla Village Drive and the southern border is Highway 52, making this neighborhood of San Diego rather compact.
Shopping surrounds La Jolla Village Drive, with a large Westfield mall and other wide variety shopping centers. Many restaurants are of high quality, catering to the local business parks that dominate this community. Several hotels also host professionals who visit on business and cater to fine living. The northeast border is decorated with a large, striking Mormon Temple with two towers and stained glass, visible from the highway and the hills of La Jolla. Commute to other areas is convenient with three local freeways. Many residents choose to work locally in the many office parks surrounding La Jolla Village Drive.

A good 35% of
University City real estate are single family homes with foliage and
well kept streets. Governor Drive introduces older University City homes
in pleasant neighborhoods which spill out onto a canyon, giving many
streets dead ends and views. Schools are individual to University City
and rank among the top in the state. Private schools are also available
for kids.
Local activities
include an ice skating rink and four community parks with recreation
centers. Trails for hiking are close. The beach and golfing are just
west of I 5. A deep ravine, Rose Canyon, splits up the community and has
become parkland, for it is too steep for construction. This canyon
shares space with runners, walkers, snakes, rabbits, and wildlife. Only
Genesee Avenue connects either side of the neighborhood. The University
offers culture and arts, and other local attractions include the Birch
Aquarium and the La Jolla Playhouse, showcasing plays.
