City Guide for Spring Valley Lake, CA

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.

What to keep in mind when looking for dog friendly apartments in Spring Valley Lake, CA

Finding an apartment in Spring Valley Lake that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
