It’s the home of the San Diego Padres, and from the city it’s just a short jaunt to the desert to see the wildflowers or to the mountains to snow ski. Beaches, parks, cultural attractions, hiking trails, botanical gardens and great restaurants are some of the pleasures awaiting you. The ocean, the mountains, great weather with lots of sunshine, and all kinds of fun activities make San Diego County a great place to live, work, raise a family or retire.
