Neighborhood ProfileOlivenhain Real Estate Bordering Rancho Santa Fe and South Carlsbad, Olivenhain (pronounced Oh-LEE-ven-hine) is one of five communities that incorporated in 1986 to form the City of Encinitas. This low density community is comprised of about 1500 homes on lots that average two acres, with a projected build out of 1616 homes total.
Characterized by two-lane winding roads lined with eucalyptus trees, trails for horses, bicycles, and pedestrians, and the "Dark Skies" policy, which limits outdoor lighting, Olivenhain is a rural heaven that is fiercely protected residents. Olivenhain, settled by German immigrants in 1884, cherishes its rural outlook and small town feel. Located adjacent to Rancho Santa Fe, the area's agricultural industry yielded to a residential community in the 1950s. The open fields and hillsides were subdivided into spacious lots that today hold large custom homes often with horse facilities.
Many homes have fruit orchards of citrus trees and gardening is a major pastime. The area is close to the shopping and services of both Encinitas and Carlsbad, making it easy for residents to fill their needs and retain their rural setting.
