Who We Are

We are a volunteer group of Escondido neighbors working together to support approval of the proposed Harvest Hills community. We see the positive benefits that Harvest Hills will provide for the Eagle Crest neighborhoods and entire Escondido community.

  • Improves the Eagle Crest Golf Club, helping renew the centerpiece of our community
  • Supports San Pasqual Union School and other local schools
  • Creates a new fire station and emergency road to help improve safety for our neighborhoods
  • Benefits home values with a thriving golf course and nearby estate homes
  • Preserves 700 acres of permanent open space including public trails
