About San Elijo Hills
San Elijo Hills has been one of San Diego County’s most successful master-planned communities since its inception in 2001.
A walkable community that is comprised of over 30 neighborhoods and 3,400 homes (from townhouses to expansive estates), San Elijo Hills has maintained its popularity in large part because it has continually been able to cultivate a small-town feel.
Located in the southwest section of the city of San Marcos, only 6 miles from the beach, the San Elijo Hills is situated on the highest point in North County Coastal San Diego.
Because of its elevation, many homes throughout the community feature excellent views (some completely unobstructed and panoramic) that reach all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
To help foster an open-feel and to support its active community, San Elijo Hills has preserved over 1,000 acres of open space and offers over 18 miles of walking, biking and hiking trails.
In the heart of the community is the beautiful 19 acre San Elijo Park that consists of grassy areas, lighted ballfields and multi-purpose fields, spalsh pad, playground, off-leash dog park, community center and a picnic area.
In addition, the park hosts free movie nights, concerts and holiday celebrations.
Also in the middle of San Elijo Hills is the San Elijo Hills Town Center.
Much like a traditional town square that acts as a community gathering place, the town center consists of restaurants, shops, stores and businesses.
