An exurb with an Old West character
Situated among San Diego’s northeastern exurbs, Lakeview combines suburban and rural lifestyles while still being just a 25-minute drive from downtown. While many of Lakeview’s residential lanes are teeming with Spanish Revival homes and palm trees in the style of a traditional SoCal suburb, vast sections of this community consist of ranch-style homes on lush hillsides, with mountain views as a backdrop. Realtor Jenniffer Taylor with Pacific Sotheby's International Realty says, "Lakeside is a rural and suburban area. This area still has some vacant land that has not yet been developed, and there are custom homes in the country." Lakeview’s proximity to outdoor adventures adds just as much to its appeal as its shopping and dining conveniences do, and the popularity of the local rodeo keeps the rustic soul of this San Diego suburb alive.

Hiking, biking and horseback riding
Not only does the pristine nature of the Cuyamaca Mountains dominate the skyline of Lakeview, but outdoor recreation is a common pastime among Lakeview locals. One of the most popular venues in Lakeview is the Lakeside Rodeo Grounds, which has hosted the Lakeside Rodeo since 1964 and also holds a Miss Lakeside Scholarship Pageant. Residents can show off their own tricks at the Cactus Park BMX course. The trailhead for the 3,700-foot-tall El Cajon Mountain starts just 5 miles from the neighborhood, also connecting adventurers to the hiking, biking, rock climbing and horseback-riding opportunities that the Oak Oasis Preserve offers. The wealth of flowering chaparral and woodlands may tempt ardent hikers, but laid-back outdoor recreation can be had at smaller neighborhood parks like Lindo Lake Park. This small lake, home to a Romanesque boathouse built in 1887, is an idyllic setting for skating, picnicking, sunny strolls and games of soccer and tennis. The much larger Lake Jennings is a popular site for camping, fishing and hiking, and travelers can visit the historic Whitaker House, a stone-built, 1940-established estate nicknamed "Hilltop" by its owner-builders.

Spanish-influenced streetscapes
Lakeview’s housing inventory expresses this community’s diverse character and geography. "We have some older and newer tract homes, as well as neighborhoods where each property ranges from 1 acre to 5 acres.” Taylor says. Ranch-style homes built in the 1970s line quiet streets, while Spanish Revival houses of varying sizes sit on hillsides that offer panoramic views of the San Diego area. Front gardens often feature blooming cacti and palm trees, while well-maintained sidewalks are perfect for evening walks. Estates on large acreages include Spanish-inspired homes with stucco walls and terracotta roofs, as well as working horse ranches and farms. Manufactured homes sell for between $113,000 and $637,000, while condo developments near the town center range in value from $325,000 to $625,000 and single-family homes range between $600,000 to $1.5 million.
