Highway 79, Julian, CA 92036

"I live in this area so I can give an accurate rating. I cannot wait to leave here. One has to always be on watch for cougars, it snows more in Harrison Park than Julian proper, which makes driving very difficult. It snows into April. If you do not like snow for long stretches, do not move here. Rodents chew wiring on vehicles. Very costly to repair. Town is very small and limited. One has to travel 90 miles round trip to buy supplies as Julian has very little to offer in groceries, clothing and home improvement. Prices for necessities in Julian are very high. Lot of isolation. One should consider all aspects of a comfortable, happy life before moving to this area. Many basic necessities are not available. Outside of Julian proper one is limited to Satellite TV and internet. Satellite internet is terrible, and to add insult, very expensive. Phone service is not good, often static in line. Rabbit, deer, other critters eat garden, and fruit off trees. One gas station in town. Nearest city is Ramona, 27 miles from Harrison Park. Road to Ramona is lots of winding curves. Competent help of is hard to find. Very few companies will deliver to Julian, and those that do charge a high delivery fee. This is one of the worst places I have lived, and probably the worst mistake I have made in life. "
