Working remotely from Escondido — my experience
I've been working remotely from Escondido for 4 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: a bit high but manageable
Internet: Fiber available in most areas — no complaints
Coworking spaces: A few good ones downtown
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Escondido is a solid choice.

The job market has been improving lately. Several retail companies moved in recently.

I work in manufacturing and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 6 months.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!

As someone who moved here from New York, I can confirm most of this. The weather surprised me the most.

Check out the Riverside area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Westside. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.
