RANCHO BERNARDO: Focus on 4S Ranch

4S Ranch is a Newland master planned community encompassing 2900 acres and located in North San Diego County in Rancho Bernardo. It is conveniently located two miles west of I-15, about 25 minutes from San Diego Airport and 20 minutes to the beaches of Del Mar. It was named “Best New Home Community” by the readers of the San Diego Union  Readers for 2009.  The community is family friendly with schools, parks and shopping all located within this lovely community.  The tree lined streets , sidewalks, grassy median strips and front porches on many of the homes invite neighbors to visit one another.  A fiber optic network ties the residents together on the Internet with their own website;4S Connect. Ten miles of trails are woven into the landscape for walking and biking.

There are wonderful parks within the various neighborhoods of 4S Ranch. They are filled with children playing and families picnicking and enjoying one another.  4S Community Park has a baseball and soccer field, basketball ,roller hockey and boccie ball.  Heritage Park and Patriot Park each offer a tot lot and 1/2 basketball court.  Pioneer Park (my favorite) offers a picnic area, swings, tot lot and a gazebo.

The Schools in 4S Ranch are within the Poway Unified School district which has an excellent reputation for parent participation and academic excellence.  There are 2 elementary schools; Monterey Ridge and  Stone Ranch.   The Oak Valley middle school serves grades 6-8 and opened in 2005. It has @ 1025 students , 52 teachers and offers a block schedule of 4 classes per day. Del Norte , 4S Ranch’s new state of the art high school opened in 2008. The campus covers 62 acres and the curriculum is very comprehensive.  Many students walk or ride their bikes to the schools as they are located within the various neighborhoods.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          045

There is a Boys and Girls Club located within 4S Ranch which opened in 2004, encompassing 24,919 sq.ft.  It is very popular and offers many after school programs; crafts, sports, camps, dance, art and a technology center.  It is a hub for students and also has a Junior Olympic size pool, and a slide and plunge pool for less serious water sports. It is located adjacent to one of the elementary schools and next to a park.You don’t have to leave 4s to find great shopping.  It’s all in there!  The 4S Commons covers 266,000sqft and has 40 tenants. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Ralphs, CVS Pharmacy, Jimbo;s, Ace Hardware , World Market (my favorite), BBQ’s Galore and many other retail stores are home here.  Restaurants;  Capri Blu, Panterra, Zocalo, Los Primos and others (check it out!) There is a smaller center with a Chevron gas station and Starbucks as well as a great French Cafe in the Village Retail Center on the north side of Dove Canyon.

There is something for everyone  in housing in 4S Ranch.  There are town homes that appeal to empty nesters or young professional people. Many are multi-leveled to afford privacy in smaller living spaces. Many of the communities have their own pools for residents.  Detached homes range from 1400-5600 sq.ft with various yard features and sizes. Many are on low traffic cul de sac streets.  With the near perfect climate homeowners can use their patios, BBQ’s, pool and spas year round so they are popular additions to backyards. The architecture ranges from craftsman,Mission or Ranch styles.  My favorite homes have back load garages and front porches. The downturn on the market has created  many buying  opportunities for people to purchase these wonderful properties. At the peak of the market the larger 5 bedroom, 3500+ sqft homes were selling for $1.1-1.2 and are now in the $800,00’s.  Large 4 bedroom homes are currenyly available from $600,000 and  because they are newer have many features buyers favor; granite, upgraded appliances, moldings, professional paint and window covernings and lovely patios.
