Parents choose to live here because of the great activities for themselves and their kids; they choose to work here because of the varied businesses in the area. Many University City residents work in the office buildings that line La Jolla Village Drive. Those who commute downtown face heavy traffic, but a variety of routes; three freeways border the area.
