Local, small-town businesses flourish in this corporate-free, breath-of-fresh-air town. Catch up on local goings-on in Major’s Coffee Shop on Monday mornings, or pick up dinner at Frosty Burger on Friday night.

Life may be slower in Pine Valley, but residents definitely know how to have fun. The last weekend in July brings with it the annual Pine Valley Days with an acclaimed parade, a barrel racing event, arts and crafts, local cuisine, dancing and more. With San Diego so close, commuting for work is easy, made better by the fact that the simple life awaits you back home.

Warner Springs is developing a well-known reputation for its wineries and vineyards, including Shadow Mountain Vineyards and Orrin Vineyards and Winery.

Alpine real estate is comprised mostly of horse ranchettes, custom homes, apartments and retirement housing with breathtaking views of the mountains, rolling hills and rocky terrain.

The community of Alpine is ideal for every homeowner who seeks the convenience of being close to the city but also wants a comfortable country retreat to come home to at the end of the day.
