I used to live in Silver Spur Ranch, so I guess you could say that’s why I’m partial to this quirky and cool established
neighborhood tucked up on a hillside just minutes away from El Paseo. Really, you have the best of all worlds living in Silver Spur and here’s why:
1) Its “under the radar” location adjacent to some of the priciest real estate in Southern California like The Vintage, The Reserve and Ironwood Country Club cannot be matched.
2) Its serene and peaceful setting, directly across the street from The Living Desert (though on occasion, I did hear strange animal noises coming from there . . . but mostly it was the coyotes howling out in the open desert that caught my ear)… stunning down-valley views as well.
3) Being within walking distance of trendy El Paseo with all of its fine restaurants, upscale shopping, boutiques, coffee shops, art galleries and more – it’s a good little jaunt up and down Portola, but so worth it. AND
4) It’s history – the cute little covered wagon that sits at its entrance off of Portola harkens to this neighborhood’s early beginnings in the 50s and 60s when Bing Crosby lived here and was involved in Silver Spur’s development.
Silver Spur offers a range of architectural styles ranging from modest cottages and MidCentury homes to contemporary and Spanish style homes. It is eclectic and every home is unique, no cookie cutter here. What’s not to love about living in Silver Spur Ranch??? Honestly, I can’t think of a thing.
