Rolando Village is one of those neighborhoods lucky enough to retain its unique 1920’s charm. Since its development, this community has maintained a strong, neighborly sense of pride. As described by Jim D. Newland, Rolando was “named after the rolling topography of the land—with a popular 1920s ‘Spanish-style’ linguistic twist”. During the early development of Rolando Village, it was touted to be San Diego’s version of what Hollywood living is to Los Angeles.
