Near outstanding San Diego schools and colleges. Cities and communities close by are Poway, Escondido, Ramona, San Marcos, Vista, Fairbanks Ranch, Carmel Mountain, Carmel Valley, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch. Downtown San Diego and the airport are only 35 minutes away. Out-of-Staters – don’t miss out on Southern California living! Great Starter or Retirement home, Vacation home or Investment 1031 rental property at an affordable price! Location, location, location is definitely what Morada condominiums and the larger community of Bernardo Vista Del Lago are all about, and that’s why I love it. It is the best of both worlds. The condo’s backyard is Battle Mountain, commemorating the 1846 Battle of San Pasqual during the Mexican-American War. Nature and trails are close by, including the Coast to Crest Trail and Highland Valley Trail. Wine country in the San Pasqual Valley is a short drive on Highland Valley Road – which is just across the street from the entrance to Bernardo Vista Del Lago – and Bernardo Winery is 5 minutes away! I can also be at the Westfield North County Shopping Center in 5 minutes, and in another 10 minutes I can enjoy San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park. Visitors always comment on the EZ access to the freeway – it can’t be beat for quickly getting to where you want to go in San Diego County, whether it is shopping, medical, banking, dining or just plain fun, like going to my favorite beach, Torrey Pines, which is just 30 minutes away, and I don’t take the freeway. This is a big plus. Here’s another big plus: Rancho Bernardo is home to corporations like BAE Systems, Broadcom, General Atomics, Hewlett-Packard, Northrop Grumman, Renovate America, Sony Electronics, Sony Corp of America, and Teradata. You can be at work in 10 minutes without getting on the freeway! The property itself is a gem. I love strolling through the property and relaxing at the pond to feed the fish and turtles, which is adjacent to the children’s playground where parents and grandparents take the kids. From the pond I can see the Bernardo Vista Del Lago pools, hot tub, exercise and game rooms. Morada also has a cozy pool and hot tub adjacent to its clubhouse. During my walk I look forward to the place I call “the view” – seeing Bernardo Mountain in the distance. “The view” is especially lovely just before sunset. This is a lovely remodeled condominium within a lovely community surrounded by nature in a lovely part of San Diego. The best of both worlds!
