Coastal Living at San Marcos 55+ Active Living Community sits in San Marcos, California, near the San Marcos Creek and not far from Oceanside Beach, with Kaiser Permanente and Palomar Medical Center close by if folks need them. This community is newly built within the last five years and is meant for seniors aged 55 and up who want a maintenance-free lifestyle and enjoy staying active. Residents live in independent living apartments with full kitchens, granite countertops, custom cabinets, dishwashers, microwaves, and refrigerators. Walk-in closets, central air and heating, washer and dryer hookups in select units, and balconies, decks, or patios with outside storage are also part of many units, which range in size from about 746 up to 1,081 square feet. There are one-bedroom and two-bedroom options, lots of natural light, and open layouts. Some apartments are wheelchair-accessible and have roll-in showers; others offer private entrances and even private elevator lifts for the upper floors, with garage parking around back and covered parking too.
Pets like dogs and cats are welcome within the community; there are some weight limits for dogs, and all apartments set aside space for animals, so seniors don't need to leave their pets behind. Inside the community, residents can use the swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and fitness center, plus sports courts for activities like ping pong and other games. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas-inside there's a library, community room, lounge, billiards room, and game room, while outside you'll find patios, decks, umbrellas, grills, and a hot tub with a lift for those with disabilities. There's even a rooftop lounge and deck with nice views of the nearby hills and creek, as well as outdoor fireplaces for enjoying San Marcos evenings. Residents enjoy a program of social, educational, and entertaining activities each month, with trained and friendly staff on site during the week to help with organizing the calendar, and 24-hour maintenance takes care of repairs or issues with apartments. The clubhouse and rec room with kitchen are spaces where people can throw parties or host events, while others can simply relax in the lounge. Seniors at Coastal Living at San Marcos also benefit from organized recycling and other "green" efforts if they're interested in healthy living for the planet, and security's handled by a night patrol in the evenings. Elevators, wide halls, and other features make it easy for everyone to get around, and covered parking, parking garages, and attached garages ensure that residents have safe places for their cars. Utilities such as water and trash are included in the rent for some apartments. The property is right by the San Marcos Senior Center for folks who want to stay connected to the larger senior community. Coastal Living at San Marcos keeps things simple and focused on comfort, independence, and friendships, letting folks live at their own pace in a newer spot designed for easy living.
