Overview
The core of Escondido Village includes 638 one- to three-bedroom flats and townhouses in one- and two-story buildings called “low-rises.” Purposely designed to avoid an institutional feel, the buildings are arranged in clusters of two or three amidst grassy fields, picnic areas, and communal play areas. Thanks to a large private donation, new lawns, fences, and paths were installed throughout EV during 2008 and 2009. The apartment buildings are in the process of being renovated (several each year) to install new wall heaters, energy efficient double-paned windows and sliding glass doors, new flooring and paint.
