A suburb of San Diego, El Cajon is a scenic city nestled in a valley and surrounded by mountainous terrain, nicknamed “The Box” for its secluded feel.

Property Ratings at Vista Pines
Had the best experience with the property manager Tammy she was extremely helpful and very approachable. Move in process was simple and easy which I loved! Love the apartment very quiet and everyone is so friendly!
I would not recommend moving into this place. There are roaches. The water has gone out every month for the past 8 months leaving the entire complex without hot water for upwards to a week at a time. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend
