In 1885, Hubert Bancroft bought the Spring Valley Ranch, and over the next decade turned what he dubbed Helix Farms into a thriving operation with orchards, homes and grazing lands. The Bancroft Ranch House still stands today, offering a bit of local history as a museum and a community meeting space.
Named after, wait for it, a nearby spring, this community has some historic roots. The water source attracted the native Kumeyaay a long, long time ago. Settlers arrived in the 1700s and named the area San Jorge. By the 1830s, the native people lost their home and the land was used primarily for sheep and cattle grazing. A few land sales later, the area was renamed Spring Valley, and the first post office was opened in 1885. Thanks to a Postal Service rule prohibiting two names on a post office, it was called the Helix Post Office after a small European snail, the Helix, discovered living on a nearby mountain. Today Spring Valley Lake stands as the largest unincorporated community in San Bernardino county and is home to about 8,220 residents, according to the 2010 census. At thirteen and a half square miles located just 11 miles east of the city of San Diego, this community is really made up of several smaller neighborhoods that, combined, create a region of over 100,000 residents. Don't expect sparse small town life here -- you're living in a suburb of a major American city. This area gives you the best of both worlds: quiet suburban life with modern amenities and well-planned communities and access to world class attractions and beach living just down the road.

Finding apartments with a pool in Spring Valley Lake means cooling off from the summer heat, get-togethers, and more exercise. However, there are a few things to consider before signing your next lease.
Ask the property management how long the pool is open each year. Is it seasonal? Does the pool have a heat pump to make it practical to swim beyond summertime? You should also inquire about pool rules, capacity, and if unattended children are permitted. The size of the pool also matters. An oversized apartment complex with a tiny pool could mean crowded summers and frustrations when trying to take a quick dip.
Finding apartments with a pool in Spring Valley Lake could also drive up your rent, but may be worth the trade-off. Assess the overall amenities of the property. Apartments with a pool may look fantastic on the outside, but inside the kitchen could need an upgrade or the bedrooms could prove smaller than you want.
Once you find the apartment of your dreams, enjoy an afternoon swim and get to know your new neighbors.
