Canyon Ridge offers an escape into the California desert
Canyon Ridge is a neighborhood that feels on the precipice of its identity as a hidden luxury of Southern California. On some streets, million-dollar Spanish-style homes peek out from behind long driveways and imposing fences. Two blocks over, chain-link fences and empty lots outnumber the houses along the narrow, sunbaked road that crumbles at the edges. The result is a rural, ranch-like atmosphere that is contained but not secluded. “Either people like it for what it is, or they don’t,” said Steve Maio, a real estate agent with Westcoe Realtors who has been selling homes in Canyon Ridge since the 1980s. “There’s no curbs, no sidewalks. It’s somewhat rural, but that’s what people tend to like about it.”

Spanish-influenced homes in the desert hills
A stroll through the streets of Canyon Ridge is likely to quickly turn into a hike as the roads crawl up the foothills of Estelle Mountain. The trek may be ideal for a meandering walk after dinner, but it won’t offer an opportunity to stop into a bakery for dessert. “It’s relatively hilly – you start off at the bottom and then it winds its way towards the top,” Maio said. “You can certainly walk around there if you’d like, but you aren’t really able to walk to shops or restaurants.” Most of the houses in Canyon Ridge have a heavy Spanish influence, with stucco and stone exteriors, terracotta tile roofs, and soft arches. Some imposing two-story homes, selling for around $1 million for a four-bedroom home, feel like luxury Mediterranean villas. Meanwhile, single-story three-bedroom Spanish Revival ranch homes embrace a humbler price tag around $650,000. Buyers with a vision and a desire to build a custom home can snag one of the empty lots, which generally range from a quarter to half an acre, for around $200,000. Landscaping includes gravel hardscapes, flowering trees, and desert views in every direction.
