Live in a Small Community of White-Collar Workers

Check Out the Affordable Housing Market

Ramona is known for its affordable housing. In fact, houses are so well-priced in the community that they don’t stay on the market for very long — with most lasting less than 10 days. If you’re interested in a home here, you’ll want to put an offer in quickly. 

Drink Wine at One of Its Many Vineyards

When most SoCal residents think of Ramona, they think of wine — and for good reason. It’s one of the U.S.’s designated grape-growing regions. Today, the community is very popular among wine connoisseurs. In fact, this is what the area is most famous for! You can drink delectable wine and take vineyard tours. 

Although there are a number of well-known wineries in the area, the Turtle Rock Ridge Vineyard Winery is the most popular. Most of Turtle Rock Ridge’s wines have won awards. 

Milagro Winery and Vineyard Grant James are also worth checking out.
