Torrey Highlands real estate includes the West side of Rancho Penasquitos 92129, a small Southern section of Rancho Bernardo 92127, and the East side of Carmel Valley 92130).  Homes in Torrey Highlands are both convenient and comfortable.  Located off Highway 56 at the Camino Del Sur exit, it’s just a short ten minute drive to the North County San Diego beaches at Del Mar and Solana Beach.  In the other direction a few miles East on Highway 56 is Interstate 15, which serves as a lower traffic route to central San Diego, Rancho Bernardo and North Inland San Diego.  Torrey Highlands real estate includes houses, townhomes, and condominiums all built since the early 2000’s, and the neighborhood is still expanding.

The schools serving the Torrey Highlands community are part of the Poway Unified School District, which are among the top-rated schools in San Diego County.  The local schools have put Torrey Highlands real estate in high demand. Depending upon the house address, children attend either the new Willow Grove Elementary and Black Mountain Middle School, or Deer Canyon Elementary School and Mesa Verde Middle School.  Westview High School serves all of the homes in Torrey Highlands, and it is definitely one of the best high schools in San Diego.

Torrey Highlands Houses

Just to the West of Westview High School is the detached house community of Torrey Ranch built by D.R.

North of Westview High School is The Monet Collection, a group of sixty five detached houses built by Continental Homes in 2003.  The Monet Collection Homes are all located on the cul-de-sac street Bryn Glen Way.  With no adjacent streets, and backing to open space, these Torrey Highlands homes offer considerable privacy to the North, and a slight view of Westview High School to the South.

South of the 56 at the Camino Del Sur exit, and West of the Intuit headquarters, are the detached houses in the Cabrera and Montellano.  These Torrey Highlands homes were built in 2002 and 2003 by Western Pacific.  The Montellano homes are larger three to five bedroom homes up to 3,800 square feet.  The Cabrera houses are all under 3,000 square feet with three or four bedroom floor plans. These neighborhoods will eventually connect to the new Rhodes Crossing development located at Carmel Mountain Road, south of Highway 56.

Across from Westview High School is the Greystone development of Montea and the Standard Pacific development of Codero, more Torrey Highlands houses built in 2002.  The Montea designs are three or four bedroom houses with up to three thousand square feet of living area.  The Codero homes are larger three to five bedroom houses with up to 3,800 square feet of living area. These Torrey Highlands homes provide walking access through a walking path to nearby Deer Canyon Elementary School and Mesa Verde Middle School.  This is a unique opportunity for kids to walk to three top-rated schools in Rancho Penasquitos from elementary school through high school.

In 2003, Greystone also built the Valonia development which is technically in Torrey Highlands, but will not have driving access to Camino Del Sur until the completion of the Rhodes Crossing development.  The Valonia houses are located at the West end of Sundance Avenue and on Sienna Court, and across from Mesa Verde Middle School on Entreken Way and Auburn Ridge Way.  There is a walking path at the end of Entreken Way which connects to Torrey Park Terrace, giving the option of walking to Westview High School and Torrey Highlands Center.
