Santee, California

Incorporated in 1980, Santee is a vibrant community of over 60,000 residents located east of San Diego at the eastern terminus of the 52 Freeway.

The San Diego River flows through Santee, creating a greenbelt that spans more than 1,100 acres of parks, trails, and natural habitats.

Rattlesnake Mountain, the highest point in Santee, becomes a festive landmark during the holiday season when residents illuminate it with a bright star.

For decades, the Santee Drive-In was a cherished local institution visible from the 67 Freeway. Although it closed in 2023 after 65 years, efforts are underway to designate it as a historic landmark.

Santee’s semi-arid climate brings warm summers and cooler winters. Unlike areas closer to the coast, drywood termites in Santee rely on moisture sources such as clogged gutters or plumbing leaks to survive. Subterranean termites, on the other hand, adapt well by building mud tubes and thriving underground.
