Rancho Santa Fe is an unincorporated census-designated place and a bedroom community of San Diego in San Diego County, California, United States. The population is at about 5,000 inhabitants currently. It is the highest income community in the United States with at least 2,500 households at $196,298. The CDP is primarily all residential with one shopping avenue as well as several private schools and single family residential areas situated on uncommonly large lots.
Rancho Santa Fe has strict design restrictions. Many streets outside of the downtown area are lined with landscaping; on side streets the landscaping of individual properties provides ambient decor. Very few homes are visible from the road. Forbes reported Rancho Santa Fe as having the third most expensive zip code in the United States, and most expensive in California, with a median home sale price of $2,585,000.
