The Community of Escondido

Escondido has a population of around 135,000. Strategically located at Interstate 15 and Highway 78, it is about 18 miles east of the coast and 30 miles northeast of downtown San Diego. The City is 23,185 acres and 36.2 square miles in size.

Escondido is a highly desirable place to live, with a wide range of homes, from very affordable, to homes in the $400,000-$1 million range. The city of Escondido boasts a 52% owner occupation rate of its single-family homes. The city also boasts the lowest median cost of homes in the North County area, including the county as a whole. It has a wide range of housing options, many parks and lakes, the Daley Ranch Preserve, a sports center, golf courses, art galleries, antique stores, restaurants, wineries, a Children's Museum, and wonderful shopping opportunities. Settled in a long valley in the coastal mountains of Southern California, Escondido, which means "hidden" in Spanish, lies about 18 miles inland, 100 miles south of Los Angeles, and 30 miles northeast of San Diego. Surrounded by avocado and citrus groves, Escondido is a diverse, vibrant community with just the right mix of small town friendliness and big-city buzz.

More and more people are making Escondido their "City of Choice." As the heart of San Diego North, it is one of the few remaining communities where people of all income levels can enjoy the Southern California lifestyle. We offer attractive homes in a wide range of prices, 8 parks, 2 lakes, a sports center, golf courses, restaurants, wineries, shopping centers, comprehensive healthcare and the nearby San Diego Wild Animal Park.

In recent years Escondido was named by Money Magazine as the Best Place in the West in which to retire and, at the other end of the spectrum, was named a Kid-Friendly City for our broad range of youth programs.
