The main employers in the Scripps Ranch area are Lockheed Martin, LG Electronics, National University, and the Rhino Linings Corporation. However, since the community is so close to downtown San Diego, the opportunities for jobs are quite large.
Lake Miramar, also known as Miramar Reservoir, is a 160-acre body of water located on the edges of the Scripps Ranch community. The water is known for being extremely clear, as well as a great place to fish.

Even better, if you live in Scripps Ranch, you don’t have to go far to spend some time in nature. If you like live entertainment, then you’ll love the Scripps Ranch Theatre.
