A Choice of Near-Perfect Climates
North county's Coastal and Near-Coast climates are incredibly mild. During most days of every season, Spring, Summer,
Fall or Winter, you can enjoy your favorite outdoor activity such as golfing,
playing tennis,
jogging, biking, hiking, surfing, fishing, boating, picnicking, barbequing, gardening or just walking the beach!
All, without out excessive heat or cold and with low-humidity and very few bugs. Our Inland climate is great too!
It offers even more sunshine and slightly warmer summer days.
Our Summers have Moderate Temperatures and Low Humidity-
North County's average August highs range from the low 70’s (°F) at the coast to
high 80’s (°F) Inland. We have very few hot, muggy

vacant during the fall, winter and spring months.
A Broad Selection of Lifestyle Choices
North County's Coastal, Near-coast and Inland areas each offer a unique ambiance and
a slightly different climate. All 3 Areas are less crowded than most other areas of
Southern California; for example, our Coastal Area has less than half the
population density (people per square mile) of Anaheim and Los Angeles and
our Inland Area is even less crowded. North San Diego County also has Crime Rates
below the U.S. averages.
13 City Choices-
North County has thirteen small to medium-sized, retiree-friendly towns and cities
that offer a choice of
Coastal, Suburban or Rural retirement lifestyles. They combine to provide

such as fine dining, great
shopping and a variety of entertainment options, but with low crime rates and under less crowded living
conditions.
