Rancho Santa Fe

Tucked away seven miles from the shoreline, Rancho Santa Fe is a small, residential community about 30 minutes north of San Diego, just east of Encinitas and Solana Beach.   It is close enough to enjoy the amenities of the beach but far enough away to be a hidden treasure.  It’s one of the most sought after living areas along the coast, and primarily attracts wealthy families and professionals looking for resort-style living in California. 

What you’ll notice right away is the bevy of mansions, private golf resorts, and upscale restaurants and shops catering to the affluent. With a storied past that includes Bing Crosby, it is no wonder that Rancho Santa Fe is the sixth most expensive zip code in the United States that you have never heard of (until now!).

The most popular neighborhood is The Covenant, the original planned community of Rancho Santa Fe. Some of the most popular Rancho Santa Fe gated communities include:  The Bridges, Del Mar Country Club, Fairbanks Ranch, The Farms, Cielo and The Crosby.

Rancho Santa Fe is the height of luxury living on the west coast. If you can afford the price of entry, the community provides the perfect escape from everyday life, with stunning estates, myriad conveniences, and peaceful surroundings that will make you feel like you’re on vacation every day. While living here isn’t for everyone, for the locals who call Rancho Santa Fe home, it is perfect.
