The Lakes above Rancho Santa Fe is nestled in a beautiful valley between Interstates 5 and 15 along the eastern edge of Rancho Santa Fe. As one arrives at the community, one's first impression is of nature itself. Mingling with shimmering lakes and ponds are gentle creeks, oak-studded hills and breathtaking views that span a rolling countryside in hues of amber and green set against deep blue skies. A series of trails leading to the lakes will offer families a sense of connectedness to the environment, as well as to each other. To carry on this important covenant with nature, a large percentage of the land will remain as permanent open space, ensuring that the pristine vistas will be protected in perpetuity.
