The City of San Marcos’ innovative approach to affordable housing is a testament to the city’s smart growth. Like all cities in California, San Marcos is required to provide for housing needs across the socioeconomic spectrum.
Today, the new El Dorado II development celebrates its grand opening. El Dorado II, located at 304 West Mission Road, demolished three aging buildings to create a community of 72 affordable apartment units and 1,970 square feet of commercial space. An existing 12-unit apartment building was also remodeled as part of the project, and a new half-acre park featuring playground equipment, a picnic area and a basketball court were added for residents of the entire community to enjoy. The development is now accepting waitlist applicants.
