Leases can be terminated upon sale, allowing you to occupy one or both homes, live in one while renting the other, or continue leasing for cash flow. This property is a standout in the competitive 92025 zip code, where homes sell quickly.

Additionally, California’s 2025 laws (SB 1211) may allow further ADU development on lots with existing multi-family structures. Confirm feasibility with Escondido’s Planning Division.
