The town itself as well as its neighboring surroundings is called a Historic District, preserving not just the character of the old frontier mining town but all its architecture and culture. It’s also one of the few places in San Diego where you can experience the four seasons. Yes, Julian experiences cold enough for snow so that come winter time, it’s a favorite tourist destination for San Diegans.
Apart from the cool climate and the romantic atmosphere of the town, it’s also popular for its apple orchards especially when its harvest time in the fall. Apple pies and apple cider are the town’s specialty and many people flock to the town to enjoy these delicacies. The town is also dotted with antique shops and you can’t miss the Julian Hotel which is listed as a State of California “Point of Interest”. Another local attraction is the inactive gold mine (as homage to the old mining industry) which you can access via day tours.
Julian real estate is relatively inexpensive, with average prices of $105,000 for single family homes. Homes nearer the town are relatively modest but very well-kept, abiding by the regulations set forth by the Architectural Review Board. This low price range may be attributed to the distance from downtown San Diego (which is roughly 60 miles away). Accessibility may also be a factor because you can only reach Julian through three routes: northern and southwestern accessibility is through Interstate 79, State Route 78 is your access to get to the eastern side of the town; and State Route 79 is your path to the southern towns through Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.
