University City’s economy is anchored by the University of California, San Diego campus which forms the north part of the community. Southern areas of University City are composed of a mix of single family homes, a retirement community, and a few condominiums. The north-central area, known as the “UTC” area is composed of a dense mix of condominiums and apartment complexes.

Besides containing three local shopping centers, there is also a large regional shopping mall referred to as UTC. This University Towne Center shopping mall is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Genesee Avenue and La Jolla Village Drive in University City. It is anchored by Sears, Nordstrom and Macy’s. The north-eastern mesas of University City started to be developed for industrial and corporate use in 1991, and are home to several biotech, computer and financial companies. The northern part of University City also contains two major hospitals, Scripps Memorial and UCSD’s Jacobs Medical Center, with surrounding medical office buildings. North University City was developed primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, and rapid growth and development continue. The UTC region was the site of a 2003 fire bombing of a condominium complex, causing 50 million dollars in damage to the La Jolla Crossroads apartments  The ostensible reason for the bombing concerned the over development of the UTC area.

Housing prices average in the 500,000s, ranging from about 300,000 to 1+ million  University City also has some parks, three elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, and a police and fire station.

The shopping center at Governor and Genesee is anchored by a Vons grocery store and a Rite Aid pharmacy. Another shopping center anchored by Sprouts Marketplace is to the west at Governor and Regents. The third shopping center is located in the “La Jolla Colony” area in north University City, and it is also anchored by a Vons grocery store.

• Marie Curie Elementary School
