Situated in a long valley in the coastal hills and surrounded by avocado and citrus groves lies the thriving City of Escondido. Just 30 miles northeast of downtown San Diego, Escondido is a diverse, vibrant community with the right mix of small town friendliness and big-city buzz. Escondido offers reasonably priced real estate with Escondido area homes and lot sizes somewhat larger than what can be found in other areas of San Diego County. Whether you are a first time buyer, a seasoned investor, or looking for an estate on a sizable chunk of land, Escondido may be the place for you.
