Secondhand Stores in Alpine, Descanso & Julian
Alpine, Descanso, and Julian are the mountain communities anchoring the eastern edge of San Diego County. Julian is the most established stop — antique shops and a Friends of the Library bookstore sit along the historic Main Street, and the pace is slower and the prices lower than anything you’ll find closer to the coast. Descanso Mercantile is a worthwhile detour for vintage and used goods in a general-store setting. Alpine rounds out the cluster with a Goodwill and a Friends of the Library branch for used books.
