Surprisingly, the idea of a vacation or weekend home is not as popular in the Fallbrook/Bonsall area of San Diego County. Why not? Who wouldn't want to vacation here? Year round temperatures in the 70's, virtually frost-free, incredible topography, gorgeous views, privacy, land, open space, year-round golf.....need I say more? My husband and I owned a "weekend house" when we lived in New York City. It was an old log cabin on 11 acres of meadows and woodlands. We would look forward to leaving the city and heading to the country every weekend. Why don't people do that around Fallbrook and Bonsall? We are only 90 miles from Los Angeles--barely a 2 hour drive, even with traffic. The escape is worth it and the prices can't be beat right now. Homes on acreage with incredible views can be found as low as $300,000-$400,000. What about buying a piece of raw land while it's still available? Park a trailer on it for the weekend and just enjoy the peace and serenity it brings to your life. I have 4 listings on the market that are perfect vacation properties. Check them out in the listings section-- www.alylehomes.com.

Life is great here in this part of San Diego County. Fallbrook is a small town with a rural feel. Since my family and I moved here 4 years ago, I've noticed a definate change in the community. While Fallbrook and Bonsall are still a retirement destination because of the climate and the slow-paced lifestyle, many more young families are moving to the area because it is such a great place to raise children. There aren't many places left where children can run free outside, ride their bikes down the private streets or even fly kites on their own property. I live on a little less than 2 acres, but my neighbor has a 23 acre avocado grove where the children (and dogs) love to run through the trees. We go for walks in the evening and take the dogs for a swim in their year-round pond. There is also a sense of community in our town. Their are art classes for the kids at the Art Center, swimming lessons in the summer at the high school pool and a variety of dance classes and gymnastics and sports to choose from. A lot of people I have spoken to were hesistant to move to Fallbrook with their young children, but they all agree it is a wondeful place and our kids will thank us for it some day.

People move to the Fallbrook/Bonsall area for many reasons. One of which is to own land--a sense of one's personal space. This is one of the only areas in Southern California where land is affordable to own. Another reason is the weather. Our frost-free climate is ideal for growing all types of flowers found at the floral markets in addition to the ever-popular avocado and macadamia nut. This is also horse country and people move here to board and train their horses. Buying and selling property is a lot different than buying a home in a tract in a small development. Most of our community is rural and finding a realtor who is familiar with owning land is important. Contact me for local knowledge of the area if you are interested in buying or selling.
