One of the most rural areas of San Diego County, Lakeside offers all the benefits of the sunny region without the congestion of the metropolitan area. It's a great place for those who prefer a slower life—or want that lifestyle when they come home from work. Within commuting distance of downtown San Diego and other major hubs of business in the county, there are certainly many Lakeside residents who like to alternate between city and country life. But the majority of people here are content with the slow paced lifestyle that the area is known for.

Most of the land that Lakeside's houses sit on is measured in acres, not square feet. The mild climate combined with the open spaces makes for a great recreational quality of life. Many Lakeside homeowners also keep horses. On weekends, many get together for long, leisurely horseback rides or shows.

Others enjoy hiking, boating and fishing—all within easy access of their homes. Lindo Lake, in Lakeside, is the only natural lake in the county, and is open to the public. So are the numerous parks in the area.

Lakeside has a small feel to it. Many of the businesses in the area are family-owned, and have been around for generations. Families in this area tend to stay here, making the community feel homey. Lakeside real estate is sold for a median price of about $407,710 in February 2006. Homes are appreciating at a solid rate, as others discover the value of this beautiful community.
