4S Ranch Real Estate
4S Ranch
4S Ranch is a locale of San Diego County and is located in the North County Inland area of San Diego. 4S Ranch is built on 2,900 acres and includes a total of 4,715 homes clustered around the town center 4S Commons. Ideally located West of Interstate 15 and East of Rancho Santa Fe, the community is perfectly situated to all areas of San Diego County.
Captain John Snook is the first European to own the land that is now 4S Ranch. Because he became a Mexican citizen after immigrating to California and converting to Catholicism, he was able to receive the Mexican land grant that gave him the 17,000-acre Rancho San Bernardo in 1842. The land remained under his wife’s ownership after his death and was divided and sold upon her death in 1860. The land that is now 4S Ranch eventually came into the hands of the Albert Ralphs family (of the Ralphs grocery chain) in 1938, at which time the land was developed for agricultural use.
It was not until the 1970s that plans for a master-planned community began to take form, and approval to develop the first 634 acres of the community were approved in 1984. Housing development began in the early 2000s.
The different neighborhoods within 4S Ranch feature architectural designs that include California Craftsman, Cottage, Mission, and Ranch Style homes.
