A California oasis to call home

Meaning ‘sweet water’ in the language of the Kumeyaay, who have inhabited the region for generations, Jamul features residential development woven throughout expanses of mountainous terrain. Here, residents can hike miles of trails to the north, and the entire landscape to the south is graced with the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge and Jamul Mountains. “Jamul has a very rustic, rural feeling to it, but it’s still only a 25-minute drive from San Diego,” says Judy Bohlen, Realtor with Century 21. “It’s an upscale community, but it has a homey feel. Residents are very community and family oriented. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, because all the kids go to the same schools and play sports with each other.”

Abundant beauty and plenty of parks

Outdoor adventure is always available in Jamul, from vast natural areas of the refuge, Lee Valley and McGinty Mountain, to the Steele Canyon County Park in northwest Jamul. Steele Canyon County Park offers sports fields and courts, a colorful playground in the sand, and lots of durable, shaded picnic benches. Its open lawn, situated within a panoramic mountain vista, makes a day of play even more refreshing. The northern perimeter of Jamul shares its topography with the pristine public Cottonwood Golf Club. Locals meet up at Cottonwood for a round of golf and lunch, or dinner and drink specials at the Cottonwood Bar & Grill. There’s always a beer of the month, and Fridays are fun with a changing attire theme. Previously used by the PGA Tour, the Cottonwood offers comparatively affordable green fees for their 18-hole Ivanhoe Course.

Wineries and options for cuisine

Residents have their choice of winery experiences in Jamul, from the spectacular event venue at the grand Vineyard Hacienda estate or the lush Hillside Ranch Vineyard, to the gardens and tasting room at Rustic Ridge Vineyards. “People who come to Hacienda like the quietness,” says Tokich. “We’re also set back off the road, so we really are a hidden gem. All seven of our rooms are family-friendly and they’re all decorated uniquely. The property is gorgeous, and guests love the privacy. We get lots of locals here who staycation, and people from many different states.” Jamul also offers several eateries along Campo Road, including Filippi’s Pizza Grotto — a warm, inviting space to enjoy Italian ravioli, parmigiana and pizza. Locals head to the family-owned Brody’s Burgers & Beer for happy hour and Thursday night dinner specials. Authentic Mexican fare can be enjoyed at the casual La Loteria de Jamul, in chairs carved from wooden barrels amid festive décor. When locals prefer to dine in, they can pick up groceries at Steele Canyon Produce in Jamul or drive just west of Jamul to Ralph's in the Rancho San Diego Towne Center. In Jamul, locals enjoy peaceful suburban comfort near wineries, recreation and wilderness.
