Carlsbad: Located 35 miles north of San Diego, Carlsbad is considered the “Golf manufacturing capital of the world.” Several golf manufactures have facilities and corporate offices in the area, including Callaway which employs more than 2,500 people. In addition, the city has reserved 2,500 acres for light industrial use within its limits. The economy is also supported by tourism. Legoland, built in 1999, is an international attraction and has helped support the local economy and growth.

The community’s prosperous economy, beautiful beaches and high quality of life are just some of the reasons why 92,000 people choose to call Carlsbad home.

Oceanside: Few cities can claim they have a better climate than Oceanside’s. It’s ranked as the fifth best climate in the world and the second best in the United States. Sunny days, mild temperatures and 3.5 miles of beautiful beaches all help this coastal city achieve its ranking.

City developers are dedicated to preserving Oceanside’s natural beauty, with more than 30 state parks and programs designed to protect the water supply and local wildlife. The city continues to grow and has more than 173,000 residents.

Vista: Vista is a growing community conveniently located within driving distance of San Diego. Its robust economy, first-rate education system and recreation opportunities are just some of the reasons it was voted as “One of the 50 best places to raise a family.” Just seven miles from the ocean, Vista’s 81,000 residents can take advantage of the beach or enjoy any of the outdoor activities the city offers.

The community is also devoted to long-term job growth with a 1,200-acre business park that has more than 450 growing companies.

Encinitas: The self-proclaimed “Flower Growing Capital” is blooming. Known for its flowers, bamboo, picturesque coastline and shopping, Encinitas’ population of 60,000 continues to grow.

The city is also the first of its kind in San Diego County to offer residents and business wireless Internet capability.

Escondido: Nestled in a valley of the coastal mountains, Escondido is a hidden gem. The city has received numerous awards from several organizations, including Money Magazine and Ladies Home Journal.

Its economy is supported by local businesses that receive incentives to re-invest their profits into the local economy. These benefits stimulate economy growth and ensure local residents remain employed.
