East Elliott Home for Sale

East Elliott in Santee, California, 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. The neighborhood 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. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, though residents should be mindful of the high fire hazard zone to the west. Commuting is facilitated by nearby highways and the San Diego Light Rail, with San Diego International Airport located 20 miles southwest.
