The neighbourhoods

Where Ramona actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Old Town / Main Street

Ramona Town Hall at 729 Main Street was dedicated on February 22, 1894, and has since served as a library, movie theater, high school, bank and dance hall over its history.

San Diego Country Estates

A roughly 6,000-acre master-planned community in the San Vicente Valley launched in the early 1970s by developers Ray Watt and Chuck LeMenager, now home to more than 3,500 houses around the San Vicente Golf Resort.

Mussey Grade

A rural West End district along historic Mussey Grade Road, which dates to the 1870s and runs between Highland Valley and Dos Picos through oak-studded hillside acreage.

Ramona Valley Wine Country

Granted official American Viticultural Area status in January 2006, the Ramona Valley AVA is now home to more than 30 estate and family-run wineries.

Ramona Airport / Rotorcraft District

The Ramona Airport hosts one of only three dedicated rotorcraft museums in the world, displaying a collection of rare and vintage helicopters.

Witch Creek

The area east of town that gave the October 2007 Witch Creek Fire its name after arcing power lines ignited a blaze that burned roughly 198,000 acres regionwide.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Ramona, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at Main Street Coffee, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Collier Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Pete's BBQ & Burgers, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
