City Government of Lemon Grove
Description
Officer Governing Body of Lemon Grove
Incorporated in 1977, Lemon Grove is a city with unique small town charm in the midst of a bustling metropolis. The idyllic community of approximately 26,000 residents ranks the third smallest jurisdiction in the San Diego region based on population and geographic size. Although the city spans only 3.9 square miles, Lemon Grove is known for having larger lots that are centrally located – providing easy access to downtown San Diego, mountains, and beaches. Residents enjoy less property taxes and assessment fees compared to other communities in the County, and developers benefit from less regulatory constraints and impact fees. Diverse housing opportunities, an award-winning school district, and a variety of free community activities are also among many reasons the City appeals to homeowners.
The City’s location in the region helps explain its suburban and semi-rural patterns of development. Its western and southern boundaries are adjacent to suburban parts of the City of San Diego such as Skyline Paradise Hills. To the north is the City of La Mesa, and its eastern border adjoins an unincorporated area of San Diego County known as Spring Valley. Residents and visitors steadily flow through Lemon Grove’s downtown business district via the San Diego Trolley, providing the City with a dynamic central hub. State Route 94 borders the City on the north, providing access to downtown San Diego. The completion of State Route 125 has also enhanced regional access to the City.
First settled in 1869 by sheep rancher Robert Allison, Lemon Grove is known for having the "Best Climate on Earth," recalling the community's agricultural origins of plentiful citrus groves. Few groves remain today, but the "Best Climate" motto still refers to a simple way of life that seems to have vanished from other parts of the Country. Although just seven minutes from downtown San Diego, and nestled in the middle of a $20 billion a year trade area, Lemon Grove has maintained its authentic small town feel.
