Spacious homes and the outdoors in the community of Lake Hodges
Life in the coastal community of Lake Hodges moves at a slower pace. "It's fantastic for anyone who loves feeling like they live in the country, while still being close to urban conveniences," says Isabel Bond, a local Realtor at HomeSmart Realty West with over 30 years of experience. Spacious abodes surrounded by foliage and rolling hills slope gently into the eponymous lake, all a short distance from shopping and other local amenities.

Biking and hiking around Lake Hodges
As Marc Anthony, Lake Hodges resident and Realtor with Tidal Realty, says, "Along with horseback riding allowed in designated areas, Lake Hodges is known for its trails that wind around dozens of shorelines in South Escondido. And if you love catching bass, you've come to the right place." Residents stroll paved pathways that circle the lake or bike across the scenic bridge. Hikers and climbers scale the Bernardo Mountain Peak for 360-degree views, and anglers can re-up on fishing supplies at the Lake Hodges Visitors Center.

Hillside homes with elaborate landscaping and resort-style amenities
Local Realtor Isabel Bond says, "There's a lot of open nature areas and hiking trails, and some homeowners grow fruit trees or keep horses. It's such a lovely place to live, most people stay quite a while." Streetscapes here undulate in gentle curves, echoing the lake's organic shape. Across the neighborhood are massive mansions cradled in a vegetation carpet punctuated by boulder formations. Many homes are adorned with elaborate landscaping, and larger estates often include solar panels, resort-style pools and large driveways. Custom homes exude a stately character, with elaborate stone terraces, broad balconies and romantic archways. Smaller single-family homes are expertly crafted with decorative stonework and sturdy stucco columns. In contrast, Spanish-influence homes feature succulents and broad vistas. Most of the home prices in this community range higher than the state average, ranging from $900,000 to as high as $2.0 million dollars.

Favorite local restaurants and national franchises along I-15
Hernandez HideAway, a favorite local restaurant since 1972, is tucked in the south of the neighborhood. Local Realtor Isabel Bond says, "It's an old-fashioned Mexican restaurant that everyone loves. After you hike around the lake, it's the best place to enjoy some incredible margaritas." Orfila Vineyards & Winery produces French and Italian varietals in the rolling countryside just a half-mile east of San Pasqual High. Locals are within a mile of the bustling Escondido Mall, home to dozens of franchise retail stores, salons and coffee shops. Black Angus Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory and Red Robin are national chain restaurants around the mall. Locals meet at the On the Border Mexican Grill and Cantina on Tuesdays at Taco Fix. The mall includes an anchor Target store; however, most residents head north for grocery shopping.
