Del Cerro (Spanish for "of the hill") is a hilly residential neighborhood of approximately 2,300 residents in the eastern part of San Diego, California.

[2] In 2007, California State University trustees endorsed a Master Plan[3] proposing to build a housing project for faculty and staff on university-owned undeveloped open space[4] in Del Cerro (at the site of Adobe Falls, a city historic landmark).

The plan to expand the university's facilities into Del Cerro was initially proposed in 2005 but was blocked by a judge's ruling.

[5] The plan's Environmental Impact Report had been contested since 2005 through litigation brought by the Del Cerro Action Council, the City of San Diego, and others.

The private Del Cerro Park and Pool hosts an annual Fourth of July party with food and games for its membership.
