"I love my neighborhood, I live a cul de sac and I feel confident in having my kids out playing. I love my view of the mountains. I can see my children raising their kids in Rancho San Diego. "

"We live in a beautiful part of Rancho San Diego, some very nice people with a good handful of good hearted folks too. Safe and friendly for children with great schools. Many worried however if Cottonwood golf course becomes a walk way and new homes come in. It will definitely disturb this environment in many ways."

"Very beautiful home. Rather secluded in very nice Rancho San Diego neighborhood. In the hills and surrounded by canyons. Beautiful succulent low water impact yard"

"This is an older, quiet neighborhood in the hills east of El Cajon and just up the hill from the Dehesa Valley. Singing Trails is a � mile long culdesac so traffic is light. It is a safe neighborhood with an active neighborhood watch. Road is paved and on a county maintenance plan. Good grade, middle and high schools nearby. One of the best churches in the county 3 miles away (Shadow Mountain Community Church). Many neighbors have avocados or orange trees. Natural gas line available. Fire department less than a mile away. Good views from hilltop homes. Most lots are 1 acre + with trees providing privacy."

"Beautiful community that has a lot of parks, schools, restaurants in a great school district and safe area. Perfect for homebuyers looking to downsize, or for a first time home buyer looking to start their new journey in a great community. "

"We have lived here since 1995 and love it! We found it by accident just driving around...followed a car into the beautiful hidden hilltop gated community and drove in and found it just beautiful and maintained like disneyland!! We love the same floorplan as this one offering lots of feATURES WE COULDNT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE. Large lots, privacy, built in trails and park areas...all in a very nice hidden hilltop paradise offering both privach, security and comraderie if desired. We want to downsize but want to say in Fuerte Estates for life an love its proximity to shopping, schools, and the freeway in all directions. Do not miss your chance to experience this one of a kind of neighborhood at a fraction of the price you will pay elsewhere for much less! Sincerely MLS Homeowner"

"Love this gated community and its close to all including freeway access, high on a hill and maintained by the owners association like disneyland! Lots up to 1/2 acre with views nd high end features and amenities. Every one who visits and sees these homes wants one but homes move quickly IF offered for sale. See for yourself and enjoy :)"

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy only negative comment, unfortunately, is that some of the traffic control staff can be rude and inconsistent in how they treat parents. They seem to allow certain parents to drop off their children at the yellow curb while denying the same privilege to others. In addition, their manner of speaking to parents is often disrespectful, as though we work for them, which is completely unacceptable. Aside from this issue, the school is excellent, and the principal is wonderful, kind, and highly supportive.Parent Review1mo ago12 Reviews - Rancho San Diego Academy
