San Diego Short Sale and Foreclosed Homes
Neighborhood ProfileCollege Area / Talmadge Real Estate Talmadge is located on the eastern edge of the City of San Diego just south of Mission Valley. The area takes it's name from the Talmadge sisters--Norma, Constance and Natalie. All of the sisters were notable silent film stars. Norma was married to John Shenick, president of United Artists Corporation. Shenick and his brother-in-laws, working with real estate developers Roy and Guy Lichty, subdivided the Talmadge community in the 1920s. Three streets of the sub-division were named for the famous sisters, and they attended the openings and other events. The Talmadge Gates set the neighborhood apart. Eight decorative forged-iron gates were installed in 1927. In 1998, Talmadge residents raised over $100,000 to restore the gates to their original glory. Each one was removed in turn, sand-blasted, rewired and returned to its original design erasing years of neglect and vandalism. They stand again proudly setting the tone for the neighborhood. To accomplish this project, the residents of the area formed the Talmadge Maintenance Assessment District (T-MAD) to restore and maintain the quality of life of the area. In addition to the gate restoration project, T-MAD is also coordinating the improvements to the traffic circle at 49th and Adams Avenue. Over 400 trees were planted in 2000-2002 as part of the area's beautification projects. Originally designed to be a self-contained residential district that was advertised as a place where children could go to school from kindergarten through college without ever leaving, Talmadge is still a charming place to live and work near to the heart of the city.  The College Area neighborhood centers around and is named for San Diego State University (SDSU). The school began in 1897 as the San Diego Normal School in the area now known as Normal Heights. In 1935, it was renamed San Diego State College and moved to its present location. In the 1970s, the college became a university, but the College name continues to define the neighborhood. El Cajon Boulevard serves as the shopping district for the College area and has recently been going through redevelopment adding a new supermarket and many new shops and restaurants. The College Avenue median has recently been landscaped with new plants and stamped concrete. Other streets in the area have also been relandscaped and improved. The College Area Farmer's Market is also available to the community every Tuesday afternoon at the old Albertson's parking lot. SDSU is also undergoing a redevelopment project. Apartments and Fraternity Row have been upgraded and other projects are planned for the near future. The SDSU trolley extension is scheduled to open in 2005. Area Statistics
