El Cajon

…a bona fide renaissance, just outside San Diego


Any town that can turn an alleyway into an art district is a place unlike any other.

With a pedestrian walkway of famous literary quotes and colorful murals painted on every wall, the area between Main Street and Rea Avenue has become something of a local mecca for art and culture in El Cajon. Add to that over ten years of community-sponsored Concerts on the Green, 50 years of the Thanksgiving-themed Mother Goose Parades and buildings like the East County Performing Arts Center, and this neighborhood instantly earns high points for vibrancy and culture.

With so much activity to draw people in, it’s no wonder new businesses continue to expand El Cajon’s revitalizing economy. Just 25 minutes from downtown San Diego and 30 minutes from the Mexico border, El Cajon may be home to the next Michelangelo.
