South of Victorville, La Mesa shelters a sprawling suburban community with a quiet rural aesthetic. Victorville was established as an Old West waystation before it exploded into one of the High Desert's leading commercial and industrial cities. This development was served by the construction of communities like La Mesa, offering stylish homes in proximity to retail options and major freeways for quick commutes.
Residents live on deep lots and more traditional suburban tracts along quiet suburban avenues and cul-de-sacs. La Mesa's residential landscape is primarily made up of single-family houses with a homogenous set of architectural stylings. These styles have a long history in Southern California and a marked record of durability in the High Desert climate, particularly the Spanish style. Its terracotta roof tiles and stucco exteriors provide insulation from high temperatures and a stylish design, with many of the area's Spanish-style homes offering amenities like multi-car garages, patios and landscaped yards. Other regional styles like the California ranch are also popular, sitting wide with spacious floor plans and large windows that take advantage of natural light. Some homes in La Mesa mix and match stylistic touches from these and other styles, like mixing the wide layouts of ranch-style homes with the stucco and roof tile from Spanish designs. Price-wise, a 3,000-square-foot five-bedroom house recently sold for $545,000 — alternatively, a 1,340-square-foot three-bedroom sold for $285,000 within the same period. Most dwellings are a short bike or car ride away from their park and schools, as well as major thoroughfares and freeways.
Primary schools like Discovery School of the Arts and Liberty Elementary School serve residents. Both schools teach students from kindergarten to the sixth grade, with Discovery School offering a particular focus on allowing students to explore different methods of artistic expression. Students move on to other Victor Valley Unified School District schools, such as Cobalt Middle and Silverado High Schools.
La Mesa's Liberty Park has athletic fields and play areas. The pocket park offers expansive baseball diamonds, volleyball and basketball courts to play on with friends as well as a colorful playset for kids to enjoy.
La Mesa is intersected by commercial thoroughfares like Bear Valley Road, offering a bounty of retail options. Bear Valley Shopping Center is home to regional grocery stores like Stater Bros. Markets and national pharmacies like CVS, respectively, offering fresh produce and household medicines and other essentials. Right next to Interstate 15 is The Mall of Victor Valley, an expansive shopping center featuring familiar brand-name stores, a quality range of franchise restaurants and a Cinemark movie theater featuring new releases and seasonal screenings. While shopping, locals can visit restaurants scattered along La Mesa's streets. Manny's Restaurant is a laidback restaurant offering juicy specialty hamburgers and hearty helpings of fries and other side dishes. A little further up Interstate 15, The Galley Fish Tacos serves fish tacos and other seafood dishes in a lively dining room.
