Over the past years, Lakeside has seen a small rise in population, but don’t worry, you won't be swept away in the crowd here. This is still a small town at heart.

Lakeside Is the Best Side

Lakeside residents are among the world's most envied people. To be living in the greater San Diego area is to be living high on the hog. As unfortunate as it may be to bring to mind hogs conjuring up images of beaches, palm trees, and endless sunshine, that's the idiom we've settled on. We’ll all just have to live with it now.

Here's the bad news: Lakeside isn't exactly on the beach. In fact, it's in the hills (near a few different lakes), about a half an hour away from the shore. But go ahead and tell everyone back home that you live here. Your secret’s safe with us.

Lakeside is largely undeveloped. In fact, 84 percent of its total land area has not yet been built up. On the one hand, this means more nature and less traffic; on the other hand, it means fewer neighbors to get to know, fewer things to do, and fewer attractions to visit. But then, if you wanted non-stop action, you’d never leave the big city for the suburbs.

Lakeside has long been known as a rodeo town. This is the Wild West, after all. Young women who are moving into town can get involved in the Miss Rodeo Lakeside competition. Manly men can hop on that bronco and ride like there’s no tomorrow. Just make sure you know your way around horses before you get into the ring or that idiom may become much more literal than we’d like.

Lakeside Attractions and Events

If rodeo isn’t your thing, why not pay a visit to the Barona Museum. This is the only Native American-run museum in San Diego that’s dedicated to the preservation of Native American culture. Here, you can listen to ancient spirits speak (figuratively or not, depending on your religious beliefs) and learn all about the impact of European settlement on modern tribal sovereignty.

The Willowbrook and Barona Creek golf courses are the perfect place to take a swing at perfecting your golf game. The latter is a part of the Barona Resort & Casino. Go ahead and add a day spa to the list of amenities at Barona and you've got something for everyone and every couple.
