The City Of Escondido Welcomes You!

Welcome to the City of Escondido, an exciting place to live and work. Escondido is a growing City, that offers a wide range of housing opportunity and recreational venues to folks of all ages. The City of Escondido has a comprehensive website that answers all of your questions about living and working in Escondido. The Mayor, Lori Holt Pfeiler, welcomes you in her own words.

Hello, I'm Lori Holt Pfeiler, Mayor of Escondido, California. I'd like to welcome you as you embark on a virtual tour of Escondido. I trust you will be pleasantly surprised by all we have to offer both as a community and on our Web site.

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.

• Attractive homes in a wide range of prices

 In addition, the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, brings world class entertainment to the area along with the Mingei gallery and Queen Califia's Magical Circle, a sculpture garden in Kit Carson Park donated by late internationally renowned artist Niki de Saint Phalle. 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. Ladies Home Journal also ranked Escondido number eight among the Top Ten Cities for Government.

Established in 1888, the city's rich past brings charm and stability to the community. You can see it in the historic homes of Old Escondido or experience it in the thriving downtown area and the weekly blast to the past, "Cruisin' Grand." Yet integrated with Escondido's treasured heritage is a progressive future, bright and brimming with promise. New jobs, new cultural amenities, new entertainment venues, new choices for residential living, and a new vision for Escondido's future, make Escondido a city to watch.
