Olivenhain offers a unique rural setting filled with ranches, horses, and expensive homes nestled in the hillside. Although Olivenhain is rural in its setting, the Pacific Ocean, major shopping malls and grocery stores are only minutes away. The last 25 years has seen Olivenhain grow from a sleepy little town, where the community gathered at the meeting hall for picnics and at H&H Feed store for horse shows, to one of the most desirable living locations in San Diego County.

It wasn't until the early 70's that many of the main roads were paved with asphalt. Now it isn't uncommon to see a Mercedes Benz or BMW being driven into the driveway of a multiple acre, million dollar estate. Beautiful estate developments like the Double L Ranch, Country Rose, Wild Flower, Windsor Rose and Knightsbridge are surrounded by perfectly placed custom homes.
