The City of Fallbrook is the northernmost city to be found in San Diego County, California. Controlling 44 square miles, Fallbrook has been known over the years as the “Avocado Capitol” of the world.

The effect of Fallbrook’s popularity is evidenced by a view of the below real estate report.  In addition, Fallbrook still holds that certain small town quaint charm so attractive to many and with the U.S. Marines at Camp Pendleton as next door neighbors, this city offers a firm dose of Ame... 09/10/2014

The Fallbrook Library in Fallbrook, California   The Fallbrook Library (or more officially, the San Diego County Branch Library in Fallbrook) is a very cool piece of architecture, as the photos below will show.   I drove by it in the rain yesterday when showing property in Fallbrook, and it was too good a photo opportunity, especially the garden on the roof (see below), to not stop and snap a few photos.   The 19,000 SF Fallbrook Library opened in January 2011 and won a San Diego Architectural Foundation’s “Orchid” award (better than the “Onion” award!!). Next trip out there I will check out the inside. 03/01/2014
