Situated just nine miles east of Downtown San Diego, Lemon Grove is a laidback suburb nestled off of Highway 94. Lemon Grove touts plenty of small-town charm along with easy access to big-city amenities. Among Lemon Grove’s many beloved community events are the annual summer Concerts and Movies in the Park in addition to the Community Bonfire.
While this city has a lot to offer its residents, including scenic parks and convenient shopping centers, its biggest claim to fame is its quirky, world-famous landmark: the giant concrete lemon. The massive lemon sculpture has stood at the corner of Broadway and Lemon Grove Avenue for nearly a century.
Painted with the city's name and date of incorporation, the big lemon also has a tagline proclaiming the area to have "the Best Climate on Earth." With its many days of annual sunshine and general lack of inclement weather, Lemon Grove's climate lives up to the slogan year after year.
