East Grove is one of the most popular residential neighborhoods in Escondido. This is partially due to housing prices that are more affordable than many areas in North County and partially due to the family-friendly, rural feel of this community, which allows for a quieter way of life just minutes from shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Much of the land now East Grove was once home to avocado and citrus groves. Some of these groves are still tucked among the rolling hills of East Escondido, New York which adds to the area’s rural feel.
