A quiet residential haven in the San Pasqual Valley

Surrounded by wineries, nationally acclaimed parks and rugged California landscape, East Canyon offers quiet neighborhood retreat in Escondido. East Canyon’s landscape of gently winding roads bloom with thick flowered foliage and offer panoramic views of the surrounding hills. In addition to its beauty, East Canyon offers very highly rated public and private schools, and easy access to surrounding amenities. Jeff Weber, a Realtor with AARE and San Diego County resident for over 25 years says, “East Canyon is in an area we call the San Pasqual Valley, beneath the 78. People live here because you can stop at a popular winery on your way to the San Diego Safari Park, and hike all throughout the San Pasqual Valley. But you’re also so close to the freeway that your commute into San Diego from this whole Southside Escondido area is quicker than from northern Escondido.”
