Serenity in the rolling hills of San Diego's East County region
Eucalyptus Hills is a haven for horse enthusiasts and outdoor lovers who prefer a peaceful country lifestyle without sacrificing suburban convenience. Walking trails and riding paths meander through eucalyptus groves, lending the community its name. "It's a rural neighborhood that's still very much a community," says Jenniffer Taylor, Realtor with Pacific Sotheby's International Realty, who's been selling homes in the area since 2002. "A lot of residents are really involved in 4-H or Future Farmers of America. It's a part of East County where you can buy land with plenty of room — for horses, chickens, or toys like boats, dirt bikes and motor homes." Within minutes, locals can reach Little League ball fields, recreation centers and dining options in town. The neighborhood's overall CAP Index crime score 1 out of 10, substantially lower than the national average of 4.
Eucalyptus Hills is ideal for those who love open spaces and quiet living.
Enjoy breathtaking hilltop views from the heart of Eucalyptus Hills.

New Dianne Jacob Equestrian Park, waterfront Lindo Lake County Park
More than half a dozen boarding stables, riding schools and equestrian ranches serve the area. Dianne Jacob Lakeside Equestrian Park, which opened in December 2023 at the corner of Moreno Avenue and Willow Road, is the neighborhood newcomer. This nearly 14-acre facility with arenas, concessions and a public park hosts livestock and equestrian events, as well as farmers markets, dog shows and banquets. It's named in honor of San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, a well-known nature and horse lover.
In the southern tip of Eucalyptus Hills, walkers, bikers and horse riders trek several miles along the Walker Preserve Trail, which passes by the Lakeside Baseball Park, where area leagues play. Leashed dogs are welcome. Just a mile outside the community's southeast corner, Lindo Lake County Park is the local recreation hub, showcasing the county's only natural lake. Here, residents sign up for martial arts, yoga and other programs at the indoor Lakeside Community Center and Lakeside Teen Center. Right next to the park's pickleball courts, skaters hone their skills along the lake in a skate park featuring an open plaza and deep bowl. A paved walking trail around the lake leads to a playground, butterfly garden and covered picnic pavilion. "It's a beautiful area, with rolling canyons and hills, and in some parts, you have partial views of the San Vicente Reservoir," Taylor adds. "People living near the reservoir can go boating, fishing or water skiing in 5 minutes." About 3 miles east of central Eucalyptus Hills, softball leagues play at Cactus Fields East, and bikers practice their tricks at Cactus BMX Park.
Dianne Jacob Lakeside Equestrian Park is the heart of equestrian love in Eucalyptus Hills.

Mobile homes to country estates on large lots
The residential landscape is a blend of several small mobile home communities and single-family homes from ranch- to two-story styles with extensive gardens or fencing for animals. Long driveways reach into large 1-acre to 5-acre lots on curvy paved roads. It's not unusual to see residents trotting along the quiet streets on horseback or into the chaparral-covered hills. Mobile homes are priced between $230,000 and $270,000 depending on condition. Single-family homes range from $875,000 for midcentury ranchland properties with plenty of outdoor pens and pasture, to $1.2 million for 1970s Spanish-style or custom homes with extras such as outbuildings, pools or entry gates. Lots are lush with greenery and gentle slopes, and homes to the north offer access to trails through the canyons of Goodan Ranch Preserve.

A-Grade Grossmont Union High School District
Public schools are within the Lakeside Union Elementary School District, given an A-minus by Niche, and the Grossmont Union High School District, which earns an A. Kids may start at Lakeside Farms Elementary before heading to Lakeside Middle, both given a B-plus. "I always hear great things about the dance program at Lakeside Middle," Taylor says. The school's year-long advanced dance class allows students to compete with other schools' dance teams. El Capitan High, locally referred to as "El Cap," earns an A-minus and is known for its outstanding Future Farmers of America program. In 2024, an El Cap FFA student took home three major awards at the State Fair, including the 2024 Supreme Champion.

Mary's Donuts & Coffee and Ottavio's Italian Restaurant
A short drive brings residents to the heart of Lakeside, where shops and restaurants are found along and around Maine Avenue. Mary's Donuts & Coffee on Maine also serves deli sandwiches with creative names such as Cattle Drive, Stampede, Wrangler and The Roundup. For groceries, Albertsons is only a 3-mile drive south from the center of the neighborhood. To stock up on equestrian supplies, there's Carter's Hay & Grain. "Lakeside has a lot of small family-owned restaurants, like this little Italian place called Ottavio's," adds Taylor. "But for a fancy dinner out, you might drive into the Gaslamp Quarter in Downtown San Diego or into Santee, where there's a town center filled with chain restaurants and retailers like Costco, Walmart and Chili's." Santee is about a 6-mile, 10-minute drive southwest. "I call Eucalyptus Hills a country feel that's city-close," Taylor adds. "You can reach everything you need within 5 or 10 minutes."

Intersected by Route 67 for commuting by car
"Transportation is all by car here," Taylor explains. "There's no public bus system in the neighborhood; it's all very rural. But what's cool is you can be at the beach in 30 minutes, and at the same time, people take their off-road toys out into the desert dunes right off the 8 freeway." State Route 67 intersects the community, offering a southern connection to Interstate 8, which heads to the coast. The San Diego International Airport is a 25-mile, 40-minute drive southwest.
