Fire Mountain Homes for Rent

Oceanside's Fire Mountain is known for its eclectic architecture and large lots. Spanish-style 1990s houses and 1970s Craftsman houses are typical, but coastal-colored Cape Cods can be found sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Surrounded by mature pines and palms, many hilltop homes offer views of the Pacific Ocean. And since homes here aren't directly on the shore, they are more affordable than coastal properties. Attractions include Joseph Carrasco Park, where dog owners can let their pets play off-leash, and the expansive El Corazon Park, home to the SoCal Sports Complex and an Olympic-size pool. Harbor Beach, around 7 miles north, offers fishing, a playground and sand volleyball courts. The El Camino Country Club has tennis courts, a pool and a clubhouse. Students attend schools that earn solid Niche ratings within the Oceanside Unified School District. Retail options include strip malls like Camino Town and Country Shopping Center and El Camino North, with stores such as WinCo Foods, Target and various quick-service restaurants. Oceanside Harbor Village has a variety of waterfront dining options. Fire Mountain is bordered by Interstate 5 and the 78 freeway, providing easy access to San Diego International Airport and Downtown San Diego, about 40 miles away. The El Camino Real Light Rail Station connects the neighborhood with Carlsbad and San Diego.
