Why they chose this property

Tucked into the rolling hills of East San Diego County, El Cajon is a chill spot that’s got a little something for everyone—whether you’re into the outdoors, hitting the shops, or just soaking up good vibes with the family.

Love nature? There are tons of ways to get outside and explore. Go for a hike up Cowles Mountain, cruise on your bike through Mission Trails, take a peaceful walk around Lake Murray, or cast a line at El Capitan Reservoir. The area is full of trails, parks, and adventure—perfect for stretching your legs and taking in those sunny SoCal views.

Craving the beach? You’re only about 25 minutes from the coast. Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Coronado Beach are all close by—great for sunbathing, swimming, or just watching the waves. And if you’re into epic sunsets, Sunset Cliffs is the spot. Bring your camera!

Springtime is extra special when the wildflowers bloom out in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park—totally worth the drive. And if you’re up for a little road trip, the charming towns of Julian (apple pie, anyone?) and Borrego Springs are both just over an hour away.

There’s also no shortage of entertainment. From Vegas-style casinos and golf courses to local rodeos and festivals, you’ll always find something going on. For shopping and a movie night, Parkway Plaza has you covered with a big indoor mall, IMAX theater, and plenty of stores to browse.

And when you're ready to explore more, you’re still close to San Diego favorites—Downtown, SeaWorld, Liberty Station, SDSU, Balboa Park, Old Town, and so many breweries and tasting rooms. Everything’s just a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

Getting here is a breeze! Just hop on I-8 heading east from San Diego, or take the Orange or Green Line on the San Diego Trolley if you're riding public transit.

The house is super easy to find—right off the I-8. Having a car definitely makes exploring the area more convenient. You’ll have a private garage that fits two cars, plus room for four more in the gated driveway.

Using Uber or Lyft? You’ll usually get picked up within a few minutes.
