The number of students living on the Linda Vista campus could eventually reach 5,701.
The University of San Diego is seeking to double dorm space on campus. The University of San Diego is pushing to more than double the number of students it can house at its campus in Linda Vista, becoming the latest local school to seek relief from the shortage of affordable homes on the open market.
If the expansion is approved, the university says it will phase in the new housing over many years and will build only low-rise dwellings. Linda Vista is a small rental market with around 2,670 apartment units, according to CoStar, a real estate tracking company. The average rent is $2,453 a month, and the vacancy rate is 3.6 percent.
San Diego County’s three public universities — UC San Diego, San Diego State University and Cal State San Marcos — have added thousands of units of housing in recent years to accommodate enrollment growth and demand.
