Rancho Bernardo CA Real Estate
Rancho Bernardo is a planned community in north San Diego. It started out
30 years ago as a retirement community, but today it is also home to many
young professionals. Everyone in RB belongs to a community center with swimming
pools, tennis courts, and recreation centers, for about $20 a month.
RB is in the desirable Poway school district. Homes range in price from
$600,000 to $800,000 on average for a typical family home. The retirement
areas have smaller homes (1000+ square feet) from around $400,000, but
you must be 55 or over to live there.
Major shopping is just to the north in the North County Fair Mall, or south
along Carmel Mountain Road. The main street in RB is lined with banks, brokerage
houses, and medical offices to serve the large senior population. RB is also
home to major industry, such as Sony, Hewlett-Packard, and Qualcomm.
A vast new master-planned area called 4S Ranch is now under construction west
of RB. Here you can find entry level homes as well as large estates. This area
borders Rancho Santa Fe, the most expensive area of San Diego County.

a 2 car garage, and go in the $600K range. |
