New developments and hillside views in La Presa
New developments are cropping up all over the hillside community of La Presa. The community lies on the eastern outskirts of San Diego County, but is flourishing with "lots of new shopping and businesses," says Andrew Santiago, a real estate agent with over $11 million dollars in sales, born and raised in San Diego. "It's a growing community, lots of nice homes with great schools and parks spread around." Residents have views of natural scenery within a reasonable distance from schools and shopping.

Expansive and affordable homes
Dictionary Hill is the tallest point in the community's residential area, with suburban streets winding their way down into more gentle hills and flatlands. "On the hill, you'll find a lot of the really nice homes and more affordable homes in flat areas," says local Realtor Andrew Santiago, "Overall, there are a lot of single-family homes, along with some manufactured homes and condos." Multi-story houses and modern houses can be found in the community's hills. In contrast, the community's more level streets are lined with expansive ranch-style houses and manufactured home communities. Both areas of La Presa are seeing new construction in the form of tri-level townhomes and contemporary style single-family houses. Manufactured homes start around $160,000, while single-family homes range from $540,000 to $900,000 or more for an upgraded hillside abode.

New shopping centers and a regionally popular flea market
New commercial developments have brought franchise retailers and restaurants to the area. Shoppers can grab home goods and groceries from big box stores like Target. La Presa Market is a local option for grocery shopping, offering ready-made meals and locally sourced produce. Locals and visitors across Southern California sell new and used merchandise at the Spring Valley Swap Meet every weekend.

Under the red-tiled roof of a strip mall on Jamacha Boulevard is Fernando’s Pizza, a must-try local pizzeria.
