Paramount will NOT have 4 bedroom condos

Escondido CA - D.R. Horton, the developer of the Paramount Condominimum Complex at 501 and 511 N. Escondido Blvd.,  bowed to pressure from the Escondido City council and announced on Friday that all of the condo’s will be designed as three-bedroom units with a Den or a Loft. In addition, the developer will add language to the homeowners association’s rules and regulations that will not allow the owners to convert the loft or den into an additional bedroom.

Home-Sharing a Problem in Escondido.

The downsizing of the condos from 4 bedroom units to 3 bedrooms was prompted by concerns by the Escondido City Coucil and local citizens who were worried that the increased number of bedrooms would encourage multiple families sharing one home.  Home-sharing has been an ongoing problem in Escondido’s urban core.  Many of the single family homes have converted their garages illegially into seperate living spaces and parking is a huge issue in downtown Escondido.  Thus, three or four bedroom condo’s with only TWO assigned parking spaces would have increased the existing parking problems for that area according to many of the neighbors.
