San Diego County is the most southern of California’s counties. This vast area stretching 65 miles north to south and 86 miles east to west is comparable in size to the State of Connecticut. The county borders Orange, Riverside, and Imperial counties to the north and east. To the south lies Baja, California. The City of San Diego is 125 miles south of Los Angeles and 500 miles south of San Francisco. San Diego County’s terrain varies from 70 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline in the west to the arid regions of the Anza-Borrego Desert, which forms the eastern third of the county. The Laguna Mountains establish a natural east-west division<\/p>\n

Excelling in livability, San Diego’s maintains an efficient infrastructure with outstanding transportation facilities. The average commuting time is just 20 minutes, and every city and county community is within a 45-minute drive from San Diego International Airport. This rapidly growing region south of Metropolitan Los Angles is assuming a position of leadership and power as one of the largest cities in the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
