Rolando

ROLANDO

Rolando is a neighborhood of the Mid-City region of San Diego. Rolando is mostly

residential with the exception of El Cajon Boulevard, which features the Campus

Plaza shopping center. Rolando is divided by University Avenue into two sections:

Rolando Village to the north, and Rolando Park to the south.

HistoryHowever you defi ne it, by the mid-1950s Rolando was a fully developed

suburban community with homes, churches, businesses, parks, and schools. The

1920s “Dream Town” was now a real community.

The 1950s brought school district, infrastructure, and annexation concerns.

Rolando and its unicorporated neighbors soon realized the need to improve its

water, sewer, and school situation. In 1954 the residents of Rolando Village

and Rolando Park voted to join the City of San Diego instead of the City of La

Mesa. Rolando Knolls, Superior Heights and Mesa Homes (surrounding Rolando

Elementary School) choose to annex to La Mesa. During this time several new

churches, many new businesses, the Rolando Women’s Club, and the Rolando

Village Civic Association (later Community Council) were also established as

neighborhood institutions.

Rolando had become a model suburb of San Diego. A 1970 San Diego Union

article represented the neighborhood as a “bedroom community.” As the

community aged, new concerns such as the proposed creation of Clay Park in

the 1970s would garner local interest. Still, the exclusive suburban design of

the Rolando Village area with its 1920s streetlights and curved streets allowed

for the retention of its majority older single-family homes. This was important

as other east-side neighborhoods in the 1960s and 1970s were inundated with

scattered apartment buildings that broke up the “suburban design” of such

communities.

In the 1990s Rolando continues to hold a reputation as a neighborhood which

fi ts the “Sense of Place” and community spirit of its unique suburban heritage. In

1997 the Rolando Community Council and College Area Business Improvement

District sponsored the Rolando Community Street Fair. The success of the

event and the community response have made this an annual event which

draws over 10,000 each March. Other local endeavors such as the Community

Council’s collaboration with the City Parks and Recreation Department to place a

community identifi cation sign on Rolando Boulevard, work on a new Community

Service Center in the old fi re station on College Avenue, and the College Area

Business Improvement District’s tree planting programs and enhancement

programs along El Cajon Boulevard are evident of the continued community

spirit of Rolando.

Rolando and the surrounding neighborhoods have also been the recipient of the

unparalleled generosity of philanthropist Joan Kroc’s gift of $87 million to the

Salvation Army for building a new community center on University Avenue which

opened in the Summer of 2002. The Ray and Joan Kroc Community Corp Center

is already being recognized as a world-class facility unlike any other.

IMPORTANT ADVISORY:

Caution should be taken when using data for small population groups, particularly at small levels of geography. Minor adjustments were made (such as correcting the location of housing units that were erroneously allocated by the Census Bureau to roads and open space) to more accurately reflect the region’s true population and housing distribution.

In addition, Census 2010 does not include information about structure type or household income. Those details and other demographic estimates shown here are developed from other sources, including the California Department of Finance E-5 estimates for cities and the County of San Diego; San Diego County Assessor Records, vital events records from the California Department of Health, and income data from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey.

Caution should always be taken when using data for small population groups, particularly at small levels of geography.
