Property Management for Escondido's Newest West-Side Homes

The former Escondido Country Club was an 18-hole semi-private golf course on the city's west side that shut its doors for good on April 1, 2013. Developer New Urban West took over the 120-acre site in 2016 and won city council approval in November 2017 to redevelop it into 380 new single-family homes, built around a preserved greenbelt with miles of walking trails, a village green, and shared amenities including a fitness center and an on-site grocery store. Construction began in 2020, and the new homes sold out by 2022.

That history matters for owners: Country Club rentals are new construction, not converted or century-old housing, which changes what a manager needs to track. Builder warranties, planned-community guidelines tied to the shared greenbelt and amenities, and setting rent correctly in a market with almost no older comparable inventory nearby all take a different kind of attention than an Old Escondido bungalow does.

Gibraltar is broker-owned with 54 years of San Diego real estate experience, managing both the century-old side of Escondido and the newest homes the city has to offer. Owners get the same flat 7% fee, $700 tenant placement, no hidden fees, and a free rental analysis regardless of which Escondido neighborhood their property sits in, from a Craftsman bungalow to a 2021 build.
