San Luis Rey Heights

San Luis Rey Heights is best known within California for its rural position above the San Luis Rey River valley in northern San Diego County. The small residential community lies in the inland part of North County, between the Pacific-facing urban coast around Oceanside and the foothills leading toward Riverside County. Its name belongs to the same regional history as Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, the Spanish mission founded in 1798 near Oceanside; the mission gave its name to the river and much of the surrounding area. Warm, dry Southern California conditions and open valley terrain set a markedly different tone from the county’s dense coastal corridor.
