I'm sure there are a whole bunch of great places to live/ride but the OP's criteria described inland North County San Diego really well. I personally think Woods Valley Road is one of the most scenic stretches of road around here...you just pay for it by needing to ride up Lake Wohlford Road to get there. lol.
The only downside is in my opinion, there's really no option of a good, flat 30 mile ride around here.
