Living in Rancho Santa Fe
What it’s really like to call Rancho Santa Fe home.
Rancho Santa Fe is known for large estates, private golf clubs, and miles of riding trails — all wrapped around a charming village center designed by architect Lilian Rice.
Within the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant, an association oversees architecture and land use, which protects the community's character but adds steps to any remodel or new build. Neighboring gated communities like Fairbanks Ranch and The Crosby offer a similar lifestyle with different rules.
- The village center's Spanish Revival architecture was designed by Lilian Rice in the 1920s.
- Miles of private riding and walking trails connect much of the Covenant.
- Home to several private golf and country clubs.
- About ten minutes to the beaches of Del Mar and Solana Beach.
