Living in the Desert Jewel of San Jacinto

Things are a little quieter in San Jacinto, a place where young families can still afford a beautiful new home in a country-style setting. Nestled in the scenic foothills of Mount San Jacinto, this city of approximately 26,000 is attracting new residents with an appealing combination of small-town values, moderate housing prices, a growing economy and easy access to abundant recreation. And, for those who can’t get enough of clear blue skies, San Jacinto averages more than 340 sunny days a year.

Surrounded by Great Recreation

San Jacinto enjoys inspiring vistas of some of Southern California’s most rugged and majestic mountains—the San Jacintos. The area’s natural splendor facilitates some of the area’s most invigorating recreation and outdoors activities. Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness—reachable by car or via the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway—are popular destinations for hikers, backpackers and campers. Also close to home for Park Meadows residents are the San Bernardino National Forest, golf courses and several parks. Chief among these is Valley-Wide Regional Park with its 22,000-square-foot sports center, soccer fields, baseball fields, outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, lighted tennis courts and picnic areas with barbecues. The Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District offers youth and adult sports programs, special events, and classes to suit all ages and interests.
