Santee

Santee (population 53,000), is a suburban, family-oriented community with a rural feel despite the phenomenal growth it has experienced since the 1970s.

Santee property owners enjoy numerous recreational activities including fishing and boating on any of seven artificial lakes. There’s a golf course, a YMCA, and a teen center. Annual membership in the teen center is $20 for Santee residents and $35 for non-residents or $3 per day. The center has a game room, a computer center, a kitchen and lots of outdoor space for daily after-school activities. The center also provides a Mobile Recreation Program after school. Activities and events are free and are held at Woodglen Vista Park, Big Rock Park , Shadow Hills Park, and at Santee City Hall to ensure Santee teens have plenty to do!

Downtown Santee, Santee Trolley Square, is a thriving 706 acres master planned community for mixed use including shopping, theatres, an amphitheater, a 104 acre corporate office park and restaurants. From there, Santee residents can ride the Trolley to Mission Valley, Downtown San Diego and as far as the Mexican border.
