Alpine Real Estate

Picture
Alpine nestles in the foothills east of San Diego, and its residents enjoy homes and small ranches among the rolling hills covered with sagebrush and chaparral.  The Kumeyaay Indians discovered this area over 1,000 years ago and continue to live in the area.

The area became a stage stop for the gold mines in the Cuyamaca Mountains bringing supplies to the miners and taking gold to San Diego. An abundant supply of fresh water made the stop a pleasant one, and the miner's spread the tales of the valley and its charms.

Benjamin R. Arnold arrived in 1887 looking for a cure for his asthma.  He found that the climate helped and built a hotel for other sufferers who wanted to improve their health. 

Alpine gained more notoriety when a U.S. government survey declared that the area had the most equable climate in the country. The town slogan has been "Best Climate in the U.S.A. by Government Report" ever since.

The Viejas Band of the Kumeyaay Indians casino, and factory outlet center has become a major attraction for visitors to Alpine.  The casino offers Las Vegas style gambling.  Big name entertainment is offered and the outlet center hosts a full roster of brand name stores.

The approximately 14,000 residents of the Alpine area enjoy the small town ambiance of the area and the opportunities to own estate sized lots often zoned for horses.
