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.

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.”

I literally grew up in the community. There has been lots of growth and changes, but it still has the feeling of suburban kind of living.

Jamul is a fantastic place to live if you enjoy fresh air, open space, and a small town feel. Located close to San Diego County, you're never extremely far from the city opportunities, but you still get to enjoy a smog-free country environement.

My mom grew up in Jamul in the 70s and 80s. It was a safe community and a good place to raise kids. Residents were very friendly and down-to-earth. Jamul is still a good place overall, but it's not the same with the addition of the casino. That place should just be torn down.
