Those staying in corporate housing in Escondido, CA for business reasons might appreciate some information about the city’s business environment. Escondido’s economy was originally built upon the agricultural successes that came about in the late 19th century. The original economy was driven by Muscat grapes and was then followed by oranges and lemons after that in the mid 20th century. Eventually, avocados became a major income generator for the area. After the 60s, the agricultural success seemed to give way to housing and development. Agricultural lands that once supported crops were converted to suburban homes.
Escondido's proximity to smaller surrounding cities and unincorporated towns allowed it to become the center of commerce for the residents of these places. Its proximity to larger cities like San Diego just half an hour away makes it a plausible location to be a residential area for those who work in the city. This gives rise to a number of industries in the area. The predominant industry here is the real estate industry and health care. The secondary industries here are mostly involved with consumer retail and services.
