Why Live in San Marcos

Across a wide terrain of former dairy fields flanking Highway 78 in San Diego's North County, San Marcos is a 24-square-mile city making its mark as fertile ground for education, recreation and a new downtown. "San Marcos is 61 years old, but we've never really had a downtown," says Tess Sangster, community and economic development director for the city of San Marcos since 2015. "We had a dairy, and cows and chickens, and just sort of grew up without a downtown or historic core. But in the past 25 years, California State University San Marcos had expanded tremendously, and we're now ranked by Fortune magazine as one of California's fastest growing cities." In 2022, Fortune also ranked San Marcos among the top 25 best places to live for families, citing its mild year-round climate, award-winning communities, miles of hiking trails, and abundant retail and dining. Chris Erickson, longtime North County San Diego resident and Realtor with the Beach Life Group of Compass, says, "The city is quite spread out with some large, medium and micro neighborhoods that vary from suburban to rural." More than 94,000 residents choose among 55-and-better mobile home communities, luxury golf-course
