Quiet residential community minutes from San Diego amenities
Just a stone’s throw from San Diego Bay, Emerald Hills offers modest suburban living in San Diego’s Encanto community. The community is named in honor of the former Emerald Hills Country Club and Golf Course that’s now home to the locally famous KOGO 600 AM station. The neighborhood vibe is laidback and unfussy. Undeveloped green areas like Radio Canyon blend in along the perimeters, making the community feel spacious while still nestled in an area that’s still densely constructed. Residents can walk along these trails and enjoy scenic views on a quiet night. In addition to its peaceful enclaves, it is also convenient to the rest of the city. “There are trolley stops in Encanto and Valencia Park, so you can easily go out to dinner downtown, go to the beach or check out a Padres game without having to worry about driving and parking,” Realtor Norma Delgadillo says. Delgadillo works with Advantage Homes and is a Southern California native with over 20 years of experience.
Walking trails, residential streets and amazing views make Emerald Hills desirable.
