The San Elijo Hills Town Center is the 70-acre (28.3-hectare), mixed-use core of San Elijo Hills, a 1,920-acre (777-hectare) master-planned development located in San Marcos, about 40 miles (64.4 kilometers) north of San Diego. The Town Center includes a public school with an attached public library, live/work units, condominiums, and townhouses, and when complete will also contain a church, additional condominiums located above 65,000 square feet (6,038.5 square meters) of retail space, and a 49,000-square-foot (4,552-square-meter) grocery store. All of these uses are oriented around a town square. Designed by Calthorpe Associates and developed by HomeFed Corporation, the San Elijo Hills Town Center relies on sets of one-way roads (called couplets) instead of standard arterials to circulate traffic.
