Descanso

Want to REALLY get away from it all to a charming country town with no sidewalks? Consider bucolic Descanso (population 1,500) 40 miles east of downtown San Diego.

Nestled at an elevation of 3,450 feet in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains, home prices in Descanso (Spanish for rest, repose, or tranquility) range from $325,000 for a detached single family home in established neighborhoods, to $1,700,000 ranch estates. There are no condos in Descanso, but you can find everything from mountain and valley retreats to new developments; high desert homes with an abundance of open spaces to cozy hillside Descanso homes close to your neighbors. Of Descanso’s 700 housing units, 600 are owner occupied making an investment in Descanso real estate very attractive.

Property owners of this tiny, rustic town enjoy Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, a quilting store, a grocery store and a nursery. The Descanso Gardening Club meets monthly. La Caada Flintridge botanical gardens on the former estate of newspaper publisher E. Manchester Boddy features an incredible floral display and the newly restored Mulberry Pond with its cascading waterfall and Koi. A meandering path to the pond is lined with tulips, pansies and primroses on one side and camellias and azaleas on the other.
