San Marcos has a mix of older Lake San Marcos community homes and newer Discovery Hills developments. Newer tract homes use stucco that usually needs hairline-crack treatment by year 10. Premium exterior paint with elastomeric on stucco that's already cracking is the difference between a 12-year repaint and a 5-year one.
