New developments and hillside views in La Presa

New developments are cropping up all over the hillside community of La Presa. The community lies on the eastern outskirts of San Diego County, but is flourishing with "lots of new shopping and businesses," says Andrew Santiago, a real estate agent with over $11 million dollars in sales, born and raised in San Diego. "It's a growing community, lots of nice homes with great schools and parks spread around." Residents have views of natural scenery within a reasonable distance from schools and shopping.

Expansive and affordable homes

Dictionary Hill is the tallest point in the community's residential area, with suburban streets winding their way down into more gentle hills and flatlands. "On the hill, you'll find a lot of the really nice homes and more affordable homes in flat areas," says local Realtor Andrew Santiago, "Overall, there are a lot of single-family homes, along with some manufactured homes and condos." Multi-story houses and modern houses can be found in the community's hills. In contrast, the community's more level streets are lined with expansive ranch-style houses and manufactured home communities. Both areas of La Presa are seeing new construction in the form of tri-level townhomes and contemporary style single-family houses. Manufactured homes start around $160,000, while single-family homes range from $540,000 to $900,000 or more for an upgraded hillside abode.

New shopping centers and a regionally popular flea market

New commercial developments have brought franchise retailers and restaurants to the area. Shoppers can grab home goods and groceries from big box stores like Target. La Presa Market is a local option for grocery shopping, offering ready-made meals and locally sourced produce. Locals and visitors across Southern California sell new and used merchandise at the Spring Valley Swap Meet every weekend. Local Realtor Andrew Santiago says, "The Swap Meet draws people from all over on the weekends; it's easily one of the top three biggest swap meets in San Diego, and it's got great food, too." Under the red-tiled roof of a strip mall on Jamacha Boulevard is Fernando’s Pizza, a must-try local pizzeria. Patrons with a sweet tooth frequent Snoice, a modern dessert shop with specialty treats like flash-frozen shaved snow topped with fresh fruit and condensed milk.
