- Wide-open ranch and farm land bordering Poway's eastern trails

Housing
Larger rural lots, ranch and farm properties, and traditional single-family homes — generally more land per dollar than in Poway proper.
Getting around
Highway 67 is the main connector between Ramona and Poway, a winding rural route through the backcountry.
A little history
Ramona grew as a ranching and citrus town in the late 1800s and has kept much of that rural identity even as San Diego's suburbs have grown closer via Highway 67.
Living here
Ramona attracts residents seeking more land and a slower pace than Poway offers, while still being a manageable commute distance via Highway 67.
Visiting for the first time
A popular day trip from Poway for wine tasting, backcountry drives, and a taste of San Diego's rural side.
A backcountry day trip from Poway
Highway 67 makes Ramona an easy half-day trip from Poway — wine tasting, a walk down Main Street, and a stop at the Woodward Museum give a real taste of San Diego's rural backcountry just beyond the city's eastern trailheads.
