The San Marcos Market
What Drives Rentals In San Marcos
San Marcos is one of the California markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by California State University San Marcos, Palomar College, and Highway 78 corridor employers and North County healthcare.
Two large campuses keep San Marcos rentals full, with student-oriented housing near the university mixed in with older family complexes along the Highway 78 corridor. Buyers should separate student-driven demand from workforce demand and look closely at turnover and wear on unit interiors.
We look for multifamily properties of 5+ units in areas such as San Elijo Hills, Lake San Marcos, and North City — from well-kept stabilized buildings to properties that need renovation, better management, or lease-up.
