Black Mountain Ranch

Tucked between Rancho Peñasquitos and 4S Ranch, Black Mountain Ranch offers a peaceful blend of new development, scenic trails, and community-centered living. As one of North County’s most thoughtfully designed master-planned communities, it’s divided into two distinct neighborhoods: the upscale enclave of Santaluz and the family-focused charm of Del Sur. Both offer a slightly different experience, but together they create a neighborhood where modern amenities and natural beauty go hand in hand.

Modern Living Surrounded by Nature

Tucked between Rancho Peñasquitos and 4S Ranch, Black Mountain Ranch offers a peaceful blend of new development, scenic trails, and community-centered living. As one of North County’s most thoughtfully designed master-planned communities, it’s divided into two distinct neighborhoods: the upscale enclave of Santaluz and the family-focused charm of Del Sur. Both offer a slightly different experience, but together they create a neighborhood where modern amenities and natural beauty go hand in hand.

Residents are surrounded by preserved open space and miles of hiking and biking trails that connect seamlessly to the surrounding canyons and parks, including the sprawling Black Mountain Open Space Park. With over 2,300 acres of protected land, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy panoramic views, native wildlife, and one of San Diego’s most scenic peaks right in their backyard.

Community is central to life in Black Mountain Ranch. In Del Sur, parks and playgrounds are just a short walk from every home, and a full calendar of neighborhood events—from summer movie nights to holiday festivals—creates a warm, connected atmosphere. The nearby Del Sur Town Center brings shopping, dining, and wellness services to your doorstep, while top-rated schools in the Poway Unified School District make the area especially appealing for families.

For those seeking a bit more privacy and luxury, the gated community of Santaluz (highlighted here) offers larger homesites, panoramic views, and a private golf and lifestyle club that’s become a cornerstone of San Diego luxury living.

Whether you're raising a family, working from home with mountain views, or exploring the trails before brunch at the village center, Black Mountain Ranch is a neighborhood designed for today’s lifestyle—comfortable, connected, and close to everything.
