The thriving business-friendly city of Escondido is at the heart of inland North San Diego County, a regional economic leader for job development and new industries. Abundant orchards, nurseries and vineyards reflect the region's agricultural heritage and much of the city's economic base is made up of successful small businesses. A state-of-the-art hospital equipped with advanced medical technology has attracted a number of businesses in this sector. Cultural and tourist attractions provide a significant boost to an already healthy economy. The business center is in a convenient position next to one of North County's major freeway intersections and is highly visible from Interstate 15 providing an excellent opportunity for freeway signage.
