Nestled among citrus and avocado groves and located in the rolling hills of San Diego North's inland valley, relaxed and natural Bonsall is home to one of the most prestigious Thoroughbred training centers, San Luis Rey Downs. While it maintains rural roots it has spectacular hilltop views. Southern California’s world-class beaches are less than 20 minutes away.

In addition to San Luis Rey Downs the San Luis Rey Golf and Country Club is also located in the city.
The town has a population of approximately 6,000 residents. Growth is "managed" so that by 2020 there will be 12,000 residents - or another 1,500 homes. The real estate market features Spanish and California-style ranch homes as well as contemporary designs. Single-family homes start in the mid-$200,000s and range up to $1.5 million and more for custom properties with spectacular views of the surrounding foothills and mountains.
