sdrealtor, houses in Elfin forest are nice but very expensive (price range is $1- 2.5 Mil). It is a very small area, not at the center of Escondido, but it just belongs to city of Escondido. It is actually near by Enicnitas and Rancho Santa Fe. It does not close to any freeway or stores. Very inconveient location! Houses are very are hard to sell. I have seen some houses are sitting on the market for 1-2 years but still not sold yet! I wouldn’t want to pay couple $M for the ciy of Escondido.
