Jesmond Dene is an unincorporated community neighboring Escondido in San Diego County, California.

All of the amenities of the area were free to use for lodgers who constructed their home on one of the tract's 750 plots, each being 80 by 100 feet in dimension.

[3] The Desmond Jene post office opened on February 16, 1933, but only lasted until January 31, 1935, when it was moved to Escondido.

The neighborhood experienced a downturn in quality and upkeep due to discrepancies in some of the lodge deeds and effects of the Great Depression.

After several years of operation, the Jesmond Dene Clubhouse was closed and only used for small, private affairs.
