The Community-

The Oaks North senior community was built between 1976 and 1987. It is a beautifully landscaped community of 1963 well-kept, red-tile roofed homes, of a variety of styles and sizes. Located in unique neighborhoods, they consist of detached and attached, 2 or 3 bedroom single-story homes and 1 to 3 bedroom homes in two-story condominiums. One neighborhood named Chapala, has an electronic entry gate. Gated communities however may not be very important in Rancho Bernardo where they enjoy one of the lowest Crime Rates in Southern California.

This beautiful community is characterized by mature trees, shrubs and flowers and hill and canyon views. The beautifully manicured greens, ponds and fairways of the Oaks North Executive golf course (reputed to be the "Best Executive Golf Course in California"), wind through its neighborhoods. Its location, only approximately 12 miles from the coast, gives it a mild and somewhat ocean-influenced climate. These attributes, combined with an outstanding Community Center that provides a plethora of Senior Activities, provide a comfortable year-around lifestyle that can help you get the most enjoyment from your active retirement years.
