Old Escondido Neighborhood Group

The Old Escondido Neighborhood Group (OENG) was organized in 1989 to preserve the historic character of that neighborhood. They do that by hosting parties, educational walking tours, and quarterly town hall meetings at the Escondido Public Library, Turrentine Room to foster the camaraderie you would normally only get in small towns. They also lobby City Hall for neighborhood improvements and assist the city in applications for redevelopment grants.

If you are fortunate enough to live in one of the 900 homes within the district bounded by Fifth Avenue on the north, Chestnut Street on the east, Thirteenth Avenue on the south and South Escondido Boulevard on the west then you are automatically a member.
