You should seriously consider locating your business in San Marcos. Why?

Location!

San Marcos is one of the leading cities in the percentage change in population from 2000 to 2007, with an increase in 45%. According to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), San Marcos will continue to be one of the fastest growing cities in San Diego County over the next 20 years.

Five key factors are spurring the continued growth in San Marcos:

The City benefits from its transportation hub location in North County - it is bisected by SR 78 between Interstates 5 and 15. Other regional arteries are: San Marcos Blvd/Palomar Airport Road, Rancho Santa Fe Road and Twin Oaks Valley/San Elijo Road.

The educational institutions are second to none. California State University at San Marcos (CSUSM) is currently serving 9,200 students with enrollment increasing annually. Palomar College has an enrollment in excess of 30,000 full and part-time students. The San Marcos Unified School District is educating over 17,200 students.

San Marcos is 72% built out with developable acreage still remaining for future development and/or redevelopment.

The Sprinter light rail commuter system has 3 stops in San Marcos (Palomar College, Civic Center, CSUSM) and one stop (Nordahl Road) just over the city line in Escondido. These are already attracting new development.

Land prices are still lower compared to other North San Diego County cities.

San Marcos has designated three Redevelopment Project Areas that encompass approximately 80% of its available land, making the vast majority of the City eligible for redevelopment.
