    "It’s animal friendly, but there are no sidewalks. So, you have to find a trail or place to walk your dog. Perk, most homes have enough property that dogs do not need to be walked"

    "Rancho Santa Fe is an amazing area with the perfect location. It feels more like the secluded small towns in Northern California but just a few minutes to some of the coolest and family friendly beach towns in North County San Diego. Close fwy access but yet feels like you are so far away from the hustle and bustle. Don’t be surprised to pass by people on horseback riding along trails beside the main streets. Large homes, large lots, orchards, tons of trees and greenery. Incredibly well kept community with phenomenal schools and people. "
