I grew up in Ramona and have sold homes, as well as vacant land here for over 19 years. This is a more rural community with lots of open space, and very few "communities' with an HOA! Many people have horses, and have started wineries and ranches. If you are looking for chain stores, or Costco, you need to leave Ramona, as local grocery stores and Kahoots or Tractor Supply are the main businesses. Movie theaters, Target, or WalMart are all "down the hill," as locals will say. Ramona is a huge geographic area. There are many wide open spaces, oak trees and mountains. For real estate, you get more for your money, both in land size, and home size as compared to other parts of San Diego County.
