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.”
