San Marcos, California

San Marcos, with its mild year round temperatures, extensive park system, and location in the majestic foothills of northern San Diego County almost sounds too good to be true. But there's more, add their award-winning school district, Palomar Community College and California State University, San Marcos gets better. San Marcos is a short 35 mile drive to San Diego and the California coast. It has golf courses, excellent restaurants and a variety of services for all ages. A large number of older and retired adults as well as young families call San Marcos home.
