San Elijo Hills is a master-planned community in San Marcos, built mainly from the early 2000s on. The Census ZIP area 92078 also includes older San Marcos neighborhoods, which is why it shows about 34% pre-1990 homes; inside San Elijo Hills itself, housing is mostly newer. Median household income is $120,268 and median home value is $942,300.

Newer construction changes the work. Pipes and framing are in better condition, but the finishes are builder-grade and the bathrooms are often large. The typical project here is a primary bathroom upgrade with a bigger shower, a new vanity, and better tile, plus a hall bath refresh for the kids.

Permits come from the City of San Marcos Development Services Department. The community association adds its own layer: design guidelines usually cover exterior changes, and interior work often needs only notice, but you should confirm. We ask for the guidelines and submittal steps at the first visit so they are done before the start date.
