Tranquility and views in San Diego’s North County

Hidden Meadows exudes genteel tranquility from its mesa-top perch north of San Diego. With only one main road in and out, and broad views of boulder-speckled hills, it's a place of quiet peace. Tropical blossoms and century-old oaks add even more aesthetic appeal. “The whole northern part of Escondido including Hidden Meadows is desirable because the weather stays so pleasant,” says Eugene Wilson, a realtor with RE/Max Connections. “And while it’s a beautiful, high-end kind of neighborhood it can be less expensive than living closer to downtown San Diego. You’re still near major area employers, and you can also easily day trip through all of Temecula Valley wine country to the north.”

Three golf courses and a nature preserve

Golfers play scenic fairways at Boulder Oaks Golf Club, a semi-private course backdropped by sweeping views of the San Bernadino and San Jacinto mountains. The pro-shop doubles as the clubhouse and serves beer and simple pub fare. There are two 18-hole courses – the par-3 Oaks and the executive-length Fountains – at the renowned Lawrence Welk Resort nearby. More than 25 miles of trails – open to hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders – twist through Daley Ranch, a 3,200-acre city-run preserve with oak-filled woodlands, chaparral and grasslands. The preserve’s Cougar Ridge Trail begins three miles from Hidden Meadows.
