Anyone looking for a great place to live close to San Diego should check out La Mesa homes. The city is about 10 miles east of San Diego, making it an ideal choice for people who work in San Diego but prefer a quieter place to live. La Mesa real estate is conveniently located to several of the major freeways in the area, including I-8, I-15, I-5, and I-805, as well as CA-94 and CA-163. La Mesa is a short way away from the beach, beautiful Coronado Island, San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and San Diego International Airport.
La Mesa homes have a great variety of sizes, styles, and price points. You’ll find comfortable condos and townhouses, many of which have been fully updated with new carpet or hardwood floors, new stainless steel appliances, stone countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and plenty of storage space. Single-family homes are available in both older, well-maintained houses as well as new construction. It’s not uncommon to have a secondary income property located on the same lot. There is even some vacant land for sale, where you can build your dream home.
Families looking at La Mesa will be pleased with the many excellent public schools in the city. There are both great district and charter schools which will prepare students for college and a good career. In addition, there are a number of strong private schools, offering even more good choices. When it comes to higher education, San Diego State University is located just beyond the city limits.
While San Diego is close by and has much to offer, there’s also plenty to do and see right in La Mesa. There’s plenty of local shopping, with grocery shopping at Von’s, Sprouts and Costco, general shopping at Target, Walmart, and other major stores. There are also lots of great restaurants. Parks abound in La Mesa, especially Mission Trails Regional Park Lake Murray. Rent a boat, go fishing, or pack a picnic. There is also a pathway around the man-made lake perfect for hiking or biking.
