Overview

These 3 Active Retirement Communities contain 1896 cozy, single-story duplex homes with single-car, attached garages.

The homes range in size from approximately 825 to 1450 square feet and have 2 or 3 bedrooms. The smaller homes have one bathroom and the larger homes have 2 bathrooms. Some also have a large enclosed patio.

They are all located just a few miles inland from the Pacific coast. The nearly constant ocean temperature and coastal breezes provide them with a very comfortable year-round climate with summer highs in the mid to high 70's (°F), winter lows in the low 40's (°F) and sunshine approximately 70% of the time possible.

Their prices are in the Mid to High $300K range. These prices include the cost of the lot that the house sits on. They typically have only a few homes for sale at any given time.

Their Home Owners Fees are very low ($0 - $10/month).

Most of these homes have small, low maintenance front and back yards. Some however have fairly large back yards that are perfect for growing small gardens or fruit trees and some are on view lots.

Most have an outside patio.

They all have single-car garages that are accessible from the house.

They have no community club houses- But, a plethora of activities for retirees are available at the nearby Oceanside Country Club Senior Center (less than 7 miles away) and the modern El Corazon Senior Center that "Targets Baby Boomers" (less than 3.5 miles away).
Many additional Activities for Retirees are available throughout North San Diego County.

The homeowners are each responsible for the upkeep of their house and lot in accordance with CC&R agreements. Elected members of each community's Home Owners Association enforce CC&R compliance to ensure that their community's neighborhoods are properly maintained. The result is that most of the neighborhoods in these communities are kept in a well-maintained state.

Although these communities were built between 1971 and 1984, many of their homes have been modernized and upgraded and some are absolutely gorgeous inside and out.

Most of its homes have low maintenance yards but some have front lawns and some have large back yards that are perfect for gardening or growing fruit trees.

The Pacific coast, approximately 5-7 miles away, gives Peacock Hills a near-perfect year-round climate. Its residents claim that they are located just far enough inland to be outside of the coastal cloud cover and that this microclimate "provides many year-around sunny days, ocean breezes, low humidity, and an average yearly temperature of 71 degrees." They also claim that "these attributes, along with its relaxing environment and country-style living with your peers have made Peacock Hills a haven for active adults seeking rest from a more hectic urban life style."

It is located near highway 76, a route that to the west, allows easy access highway I-5 and to the east, somewhat more difficult access to highway I-15 via Bonsall and Fallbrook.

It is also conveniently located less than 3.5 miles from Tri-City Medical Center, and is near many fine restaurants and several nice-size shopping malls including the Mission Marketplace Plaza at College Blvd. and Highway 76 (See a MAP of the area).

Activities for retirees abound nearby- The El Corazon Senior Center is approximately 3 miles away and the Oceanside City Beaches, Pier and Harbor are located only approximately 10 miles away.
