<h1 style="text-align: center;">Lakeside, <em>San Diego</em></h1>
<p>Located next to El Cajon, Lakeside was named for the small lake around which it was founded.

Currently, 20,000 residents call Lakeside home and the median home price is $475,000.</p>
<p>If rodeo sounds like fun, then Lakeside is the place to be. Home to the permanent Lakeside Rodeo Grounds, you can put on your cowboy hat and blend right in. Lakeside now also has a trio of large reservoirs, which are kept stocked with a variety of fish species. It's also home to one of the original casinos in the area, Barona Resort &amp; Casino.</p>
<p>Lakeside's dining choices mainly feature fast food or casual dining options. The restaurants at Barona add a few more choices, if you're willing to make the short drive through the canyon. Shopping includes major retailers, and Parkway Plaza in nearby El Cajon fills out the lineup.</p>
