Top 4 Reasons to Live in Rancho San Diego, CA

Local Farmers Market! On Rancho San Diego Parkway, in the parking lot of Cuyamaca College, Californians flock from several cities to enjoy the fresh local produce, seafood, dairy, and spices found at the weekly farmers market. Not only can you stock up on lots of fresh food, but community groups are often featured here, making it a great way to meet your new neighbors. Markets are held on Saturday mornings.

Scenic Views! Whether you love the rolling hills or green space, this small area manages to pack it all in. Surrounded by mountain views, residents enjoy taking in the fresh air and California sunshine at Cottonwood Golf Club or at the nearby San Diego National Wildlife Refuge. Staying active is a favorite feature of this slice of SoCal, with hiking and biking trails throughout the area. Small parks like Cottonwood Three County Park dot the landscape, with larger parks surrounding Rancho San Diego.

Rising Home Values! With the warm California climate and a lower tendency for earthquakes, it's no wonder that home values have been increasing in Rancho San Diego. An impressive rise of over 8 percent in home sale prices in the past year means that moving here could really pay off. Adding further value to the area are the cultural offerings of the Heritage of the Americas Museum and Water Conservation Garden.

Spanish Hacienda Architecture! Those loving the signature tiled roofs of Spanish Hacienda architecture will feel right at home in the community of Damon Lane County Park and Cottonwood Two County Park. Although many new houses can be found among the park land in this area, they frequently make use of the Spanish Hacienda style, making it easy to find rent to own homes with arches and roof tiles. Although the architecture is traditional, many homes add modern touches with landscaping and pools.
