Our Story: A Legacy of Stability Since 1987
For over three decades, Rancho Escondido has been a cornerstone of senior living in Escondido. What began as a traditional mobile home park has evolved into something much more meaningful: a Resident Owned Community (ROC) dedicated to providing lasting housing security.
Founded in 1987
We opened our gates with a simple goal: to provide quality, affordable housing for seniors in North County San Diego. That commitment has never wavered.
Part of the ROC California Network
Our transition to a resident-owned cooperative means we're backed by professional management and a statewide network dedicated to preserving affordable senior housing.
Our Mission
"To provide stable, affordable, and community-oriented housing for seniors through resident ownership and cooperative management."
This isn't just a statement—it's the principle that guides every decision we make. By putting residents in control, we ensure Rancho Escondido remains a secure, welcoming home for generations to come.
The Power of Resident Ownership
At Rancho Escondido, we are more than a park—we are a community owned by our residents. This cooperative model transforms the traditional housing experience, offering unparalleled stability and control for seniors in Escondido.
Control Over Community Decisions
As a resident-owned community, you have a direct voice in how Rancho Escondido is managed. Residents democratically elect a board from within the community to make decisions about budgets, improvements, and rules—not a distant corporate landlord.
Financial Stability & Predictability
The resident-owned model prevents the sudden, dramatic rent spikes common in investor-owned parks. Monthly fees are set transparently to cover actual community costs and long-term maintenance, providing true housing cost predictability.
Support from the ROC California Network
We are proudly part of the ROC California network, giving us access to professional management expertise, bulk purchasing power, and a statewide support system dedicated to the success of resident-owned communities.
Resident-Owned vs. Investor-Owned: A Clear Difference
In traditional parks, decisions and profits go to outside investors. Here, the community's well-being is the only bottom line. Your home investment is protected, and your quality of life is the priority.
