Rancho San Diego, Here We Go! User Rating 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) A place for peace. A place for prosperity. A place to grow. That should be the motto of this wonderful city of Rancho San Diego. I know many residents will agree when I say that this is one of those hidden gems in the west. Living in Rancho San Diego is a breeze and anything else ...Read More is beyond me.

I know we have to take into account the cost of living in Calfornia is going to be high. Lets just face it. Taking that understanding and running with it will lead you to the water, I promise. Two larger cities nearby are Carlsbad and Chula Vista in case you want to check those out.

There is much more to this city than I can put in this review. I would advise you to give a visit, grab a fresh frapp from Buchimio Brothers and go for a little stroll. Most wouldn't believe it, but walking it the best way to explore a city like this. Read Less
