Old Escondido Historic District

Old Escondido Historic District The Old Escondido Historic District is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization on the west, and Chestnut on the east.

Valuing our unique heritage, the City of Escondido established the Old Escondido Historic District in 1991, the only Historic District in North San Diego County. The city’s oldest neighborhood, Old Escondido, features a strong collection of architectural treasures, including stately Victorians, comfortable Craftsman bungalows, and eclectic Art Deco and Post World War II residences built in the mid

-1880s to date. The district contains nearly 900 properties and is bounded by 5th Avenue on the north, 13th on the south, Escondido Blvd. The Old Escondido Historic District is a wonderful place to live, one of the safest areas in the city, and it’s conveniently located within walking distance of Historic Downtown Escondido. This is a neighborhood in the truest sense of the word. Neighbors know each other and look out for each other. We have a barbecue every summer, get-together meetings every 3 months, and participate in the annual Christmas Parade and Grape Day celebrations. It’s also a lovely place to visit; to walk or tour by car. A selection of homes are open for tours annually on Mother’s Day.

Hello Old Escondido Neighborhood Residents,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts over the past few months regarding the Juniper Street ornamental lighting. We’ve heard clearly that while many residents appreciate the added safety and aesthetics these lights provide, there are different preferences regarding brightness and color tone.

To help us move forward, the City will be testing two lighting options on Juniper Street:

· A neutral, white light option
· A warmer, amber light option

Both options will be installed on the street at the same time, so you can see and compare them in real conditions.

The lighting test will take place over three evenings from May 14-17. On Thursday, May 14, at 7:45 p.m., City staff will be on-site to answer questions, listen to feedback, and explain the differences between the two options.

Please meet on the west side of the alley on Juniper between 6th Ave. and 7th Ave.

After viewing the lights, neighbors will be invited to share their preferences through a short online survey.

Please note that City crews will be out ahead of the meeting to test the lights, so you may notice some activity during the evening, the week of May 11.

Your input is essential in helping us select a solution that balances safety, comfort, and neighborhood character.

We hope you’ll join us and be part of the decision-making process.

Thank you for your continued engagement and partnership.

Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager
