East Elliott Homes for Sale

Santee's East Elliott neighborhood is composed of two suburban communities: Carlton Oaks and Weston. Carlton Oaks, developed mainly in the 1960s, features walkable community parks and the Carlton Oaks Country Club. It is characterized by 1960s ranch-style and 1980s Mediterranean-influenced homes, many of which have been modernized with energy-efficient solar panels and pool patios. Weston, developed in the 1970s with recent expansions since 2019, offers contemporary Mediterranean-style homes and direct access to Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve. Both communities provide residents with ample outdoor activities, including hiking trails in Mission Trails Regional Park and rock climbing at Santee Boulders. Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve offers paved walking paths, playgrounds and fishing piers. Shopping is convenient with Santee’s town center just a couple of miles away, featuring major retailers like Target, Walmart and Costco, as well as local eateries such as Janet’s Café & Deli and Estrada’s. Schools in the area include Carlton Oaks School and West Hills High School, both highly rated and part of the well-regarded Santee School District and Grossmont Union High School District, respectively. Residents should be mindful of the high fire hazard zone to the west. Commuting is easy, with nearby highways and the San Diego Light Rail. San Diego International Airport is about 20 miles southwest.
