This neighborhood in Oceanside is stock full of empty-nesters, many of whom have moved here after the kids left.  You can walk to the beach, and easily get on the freeway to Orange County – and it is cheap, comparatively. This 3 br/2 ba, 2,472 sf house was built in 1952 on a 12,065 sf lot and has a full granny flat too:
