Del Sur

 

Mature trees line the pathways winding throughout the Del Sur master-planned community, designed to emulate the styles and sophistication of San Diego’s most luxurious historic neighborhoods. Del Sur puts the needs of its residents first and packs its neighborhood with plenty of avenues for entertainment. 

 

From the pristine parks and gathering spaces to the pools, tennis courts, and easy-access walking trails, open space, and mountain biking trails, Del Sur has firmly cemented its status as an enviable lifestyle community. The neighborhood opened in 2006 and was inspired by the best of historic enclaves like La Jolla, Coronado, Mission Hills, and Kensington. 

 

Architecture in Del Sur is distinctive and timeless, mixing contemporary sleekness with quintessential features of San Diego’s most beloved historic neighborhoods. Single-family homes are the primary style of residential architecture, often with 3-4 bedrooms and bathrooms each. A variety of floorplans allows for customization and personalization among the homes, so residents can set down roots in a nest most fitting for their needs.

 

• Award-winning schools a stone’s throw away
• Balmy Mediterranean climate that makes for year-round outdoor fun
• Wholesome atmosphere with a dedication to providing the best to its residents
  
  

An absolute abundance of amenities and community events emphasizes the intent behind the creation of the Del Sur community — a strong desire to establish a place where residents can explore the best of life with vigor. Luxury meets nature in Del Sur, where the conservation of land creates plentiful open space preserves to explore. 

 

Though Del Sur residents have the advantage of living in a neighborhood without commercial bustle, they also have the benefit of living within walking distance of 4S Ranch’s many shopping and dining amenities. Along Paseo Del Sur heading out towards 4S Ranch, convenient chain stores such as Target sit next to grocers like Sprouts Farmers Market. At the 4S Commons Town Center, restaurants, beauty suppliers, and a range of other shopping delights await perusal. 

 

Del Sur also has no shortage of places to dine, sharing a number of excellent restaurants with other neighborhoods in the area. Burger Lounge, for example, combines the friendliness of a counter-serve joint with modern Californian flair and exclusively grass-fed beef. Piacere Mio is the area’s favorite Italian restaurant, and diners are never disappointed by the made-from-scratch pasta or the fragrant, herbed sauces. 

 

Karl Strauss Brewing Company carries a fabulous collection of award-winning beers, including eclectic seasonal flavors like the Peanut Butter Cup Porter. Miguel’s Cocina Mexican restaurant brags a creamy signature jalapeño white sauce, ladled generously over dishes such as the tender calamari or the succulent shrimp burrito. If you prefer to view your food as fuel, the area’s best juice bar — Choice — is devoted to gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based fare replete in all the nutrients your body needs. 

 

When residents aren’t getting out into nature and exploring the plethora of trails surrounding Del Sur, they’re engaging in the neighborhood’s never-ending bevy of community activities. Each year, Del Sur Fall Festival acts as the community’s most anticipated event. The best of San Diego’s food trucks make their way to the festival to supply sensational food to attendees, reveling in activities ranging from pony rides and face painting to an all-day concert series.

 

The Del Sur Lights show is a local favorite, a singular house that spends the holiday season running through a gamut of song-synced light displays to the best winter jingles. Another Christmas event, the Santa Photos are hosted by the Community Services Council and encourages families to come take a picture with the iconic jolly gift-giver. The CSC also hosts weekly activities, such as movie nights and block parties.
