Best Places to Live in Alpine, CA

Alpine, CA, has a range of neighborhoods offering different slices of Alpine Lifestyles. The best place to live depends on what kind of lifestyle you are looking for.

Alpine isn't the easiest to navigate through neighborhoods since so much of it wasn't part of a master plan. That is also one of the cool things about Alpine; you could be invited to someone else and never know that area existed. In fact, when my parents moved me to Alpine, I didn't even know there was a community with a private lake and beach. It wasn't until I came back as an adult that I found out about that gem. So, while I may be giving you an insider's view of the different neighborhoods, know that there are variations and exceptions throughout and your perfect house may not be in one of these "neighborhoods".

What Are Your Priorities?

Amenities

Are you looking for amenities that are easy on the budget and don't require maintenance? Do you not need a lot of space and prefer a single-story home? Like the feeling of living in a community?

If so, your best Alpine Neighborhood is Crown Hills.

Looking for larger-scale amenities and willing to trade out a swimming pool for a lake? Do you need room both in the living space and on land?

If so, your best Alpine Neighborhoods are one of the Ranches, Palo Verde Ranch or Rancho Palo Verde.

If you want a gated community in addition to the amenities above, then Rancho Palo Verde is your neighborhood.

If you don't need the amenities but want a gated community ( keypad, not attended), Viejas Grand Estates is your neighborhood.
