Located about three miles southeast of Downtown Escondido, Kit Carson is home to one of the largest parks in the San Diego area. More than just a natural habitat, the 285-acre Kit Carson Park serves as the main gathering place for residents who want to spend time outdoors or catch an event in its spacious amphitheater.

Rentals are largely clustered on the northern end of Kit Carson, especially near Escondido Boulevard. Westfield North County lies just south of Kit Carson Park, offering the community a broad range of shopping and dining opportunities close to home. Several wineries and vineyards are situated just south of the neighborhood, while the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is just a few miles east. Interstate 15 forms Kit Carson’s western border, connecting the community to Downtown Escondido, San Diego, and beyond.
