Borrego Springs is the desert resort community of San Diego and has been a favorite for celebrities and entrepreneurs since the 1940s who are looking for a quiet and discrete getaway. Easily accessible, Borrego is located a two-hour drive from San Diego and Palm Springs and three hours from Los Angeles. The airport in Borrego hosts private planes as well as jets. Borrego is much like Palm Springs 75 years ago with less people, traffic and a quiet community that is surrounded by the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, the largest state park in the contiguous United States. Exploring the desert, hiking, off-roading and a vibrant art and performing arts scene are just some of many activities to enjoy along with simply slowing down to unwind. An International Dark Sky community, Borregans cherish their unparalleled views of the heavens.
