The community of Rancho Santa Fe is home to approximately 3,000 residents and an abundance of eucalyptus trees. Distinguished by both its sprawling estates and Lilian Rice architecture, the Ranch was the place to be for early Hollywood and continues to be home to many affluent and well-known residents. In the Bing Crosby era, the community became popular among Crosby himself and those in the Del Mar Racetrack scene. Golf, equestrian activities and social galas were as popular with residents and visitors alike in the Ranch’s beginnings as they are today.
