The primary suite features dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, while the generously sized guest bedroom includes its own private ensuite bathroom—perfect for visitors. All appliances convey, and most furnishings are available to be included with the sale. Relax on the recently refurbished front porch while taking in the incredible views, or enjoy the more private patio tucked behind the home. A large storage shed with electricity provides excellent space for hobbies, a workshop, or additional storage. Located in a sought-after rent-controlled community with an exceptionally low monthly space rent of just $677.61. Palomar Estates East is a very active and social 5 * community - check out the photos to see some of the amenities this community has to offer! Convenient to shopping, restaurants, Lake San Marcos, two golf courses at Lake San Marcos, another golf course nearby off Twin Oaks, entertainment, lots of parks and trails, the San Marcos Senior Center, and just a short 8 mile drive to Carlsbad beaches!
Business District, located between San Marcos Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road, is a commercial and civic San Marcos neighborhood with a walkable main street grid and a cluster of public plazas. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the San Marcos Boulevard and Grand Avenue intersection, where sidewalk patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts keep the blocks active. Community pillars include Restaurant Row, the San Marcos Civic Center, and the California State University San Marcos campus edge. Low-rise mixed-use buildings and newer apartment blocks sit beside older strip-retail facades and pocket parking lots. Double Peak Park frames the skyline to the north, while Sprinter rail service ties the district to the wider North County corridor.
