Tranquil living close to it all

Located near the heart of Escondido in north San Diego County, East Valley is a tranquil community that provides a taste of country living with proximity to the city’s abundant amenities. Resting in a long valley just west of the coastal mountains, East Valley residents also enjoy scenic views and quick access to expansive nature preserves. The neighborhood is just 30 miles northeast of San Diego, 100 miles south of Los Angeles and 18 miles east of the coast, making it a centrally located and well-balanced place to call home. “East Valley is a little more rural, and not very walkable, but it’s close to a lot of places,” says Bryan Devore, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who has been selling properties in the area for 21 years. “The homes have some land which people really like, so you’re not right on top of each other.”

Mediterranean and ranch-style homes with on hilly, secluded lots

In East Valley, single-family homes are spread out on spacious lots tucked into the area’s lush, hilly landscape. Because of this, although it’s residential, the area has a rural feel that offers privacy and seclusion. There are a variety of housing styles including Mediterranean and ranch-style homes. These properties, which often have scenic views of the surrounding foothills, range in price from $700,000 to $1.4 million. “Right now, inventory is pretty low,” says Devore. “If priced right, homes seem to sell pretty quickly.”
