Mount Helix

Mountainous suburb

Casa de Oro-Mount Helix is a mountainous suburban neighborhood in San Diego County. A commercial district in the southern part of the neighborhood transitions to low-density single-family homes in the foothills. Mount Helix Park, nicknamed the Crown Jewel of East County, along with its surrounding peaks, features luxurious ranch-style homes and large mansions with pools and tennis courts. The park also brings the community together with various events held throughout the year. “You have everything you need here. You’re close to shopping, schools, good restaurants, and local markets. It’s a strong community with beautiful views.”

Large, extravagant homes
