North City is born out of a belief that a different way of life is possible.
Where streets are walkable and alive with arts and music. Where paseos become stages for community events.
Where homegrown talent gets opportunities to succeed. A place pioneering a low carbon future.
We’re turning this vision into reality.
Join us at North City, where a life of culture connects us to greater possibilities.
We will create culture in all its forms — from art, music and events to walkable streets and paseos alive with people. We will use culture as a force for good — where communities feel inspired to live differently.
North City breeds a culture of ambition. California State University San Marcos is top-ranked nationally for social mobility and many of its graduates stay in San Diego County, creating a positive cycle where people and place help each other succeed. We’re nurturing a working community — from an expanded engineering building to a modern co-working space.
We’re creating a different way of living in Southern California, one centered on people not cars. A city designed for walking and cycling, combined with thoughtful materials, extensive solar power and water saving technology beneath our streets are turning our low-carbon vision into reality.
From a weekly fresh food market to the biggest Belgian Waffle Ride, we’re a place that champions wellbeing and the outdoor community spirit. We’re lucky to have picturesque mountains, perfect for keeping us happy and healthy in true SoCal style.
