Del Mar’s upscale country cousin, Rancho Santa Fe, is located just across the freeway from Del Mar, about four miles from the coast. Known locally as ‘The Ranch’ or ‘Rancho,’ this world-class unincorporated community is characterized by wooded lots and equestrian estates.
About 3,000 people live in Rancho Santa Fe, which is also home to the world-famous San Diego Polo Club and the historic Rancho Santa Fe Country Club, which was built by Bing Crosby himself. Add in the town’s excellent restaurants, superb shops and the luxurious Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, and it’s easy to see why people love this area so much.
Rancho Santa Fe is noted for its eucalyptus trees, which were planted by the Santa Fe Railway in hopes of providing a source of wood for railroad ties. The 3,000 acre experiment failed, but forever changed the character of the area – turning the typical sage scrub environment into a heavily wooded area.
The schools in Rancho Santa Fe are consistently rated some of the best in California, making it a favorite choice for families.
