is a large condominium complex of over 800 town homes, condos and single family residences in a village setting in central Mission Valley in San Diego, California… Just minutes from Downtown, Recreation at Mission Bay, and San Diego County Beaches. 

Escala, a completely gated community, was built in 2004-2005. All six community Villages are behind the two main gates on Fenton Parkway and Northside Drive at Friars Road.  With the homes ranging in size from about 1100 to about 1700 sq. ft., there is a plan to satisfy every residential need.  Floor plans include two bedrooms/two bathrooms to three bedrooms/three bathrooms. All have 1 or 2 car attached garages and private entry ways.

 

The six separate villages built by Shea Homes and Continental (now DR Horton), are comprised of: The Terraces and The Bridges, off to the left side (West) when entering the Fenton Gate on Escala circle.  Just to the North, still on the West side is The Villas, the only single family detached homes.  These have small yards of various sizes and 3 different models.

On the right side (East) after entering the Fenton Gate are The Verandas.  On the east side of the community closer to the Northside Drive Gate are The Courtyards on the west side of Northside drive and The Bungalows on the East side.

 

Just north of the Villas and the Verandas, up a small hill is the Escala Clubhouse. There you will find the Multi-million dollar Club Facilities which includes 2 Pools, Spa, Showers, Tennis Courts, Large Exercise Gym, Dog Park area, Children’s Playground, Bar-B-Q's and Picnic Areas, Media Room, Walking Trails and a Friendly Neighborhood Environment.

 

Across Friars road you’ll find the Fenton Market place with Costco, Lowe’s, IKEA, IHOP, Islands and many other restaurants and stores.  The area is very  convenient to shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, theatres, the Library, trolley & bus lines and easy access to I-15, I-8, I-805 & 163.  You could also take a relaxing stroll along the San Diego River Walk. Also a short walk to QUALCOMM Stadium, home of the San Diego Chargers.
