About El Cajon

El Cajon began as an 1845 Mexican land grant. Amaziah Lord Knox came to the valley in 1869 and built a hotel in 1876, and the corner where it stood became known as Knox's Corner. The city incorporated in November 1912. About two in three of its homes were built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and about half of its housing is multifamily, so the closets in one house or apartment can differ from the next by a generation.

El Cajon homes and what they mean for storage

  • Fletcher Hills: mostly mid-century ranch houses, many of them single story, on hilly lots with curving streets, where the smaller homes often have a single-car garage. In a one-car garage, cabinets along one wall and racks overhead add storage without taking the parking space.
  • Granite Hills: a largely unincorporated community with El Cajon addresses, mostly ranch homes from the 1950s to the 1980s on half-acre and larger lots. Lots that size leave room for a big garage, where a full wall of cabinets and a workbench can share the floor with the vehicles.
  • Main Street: the downtown core, where buildings from the 1870s on narrow parcels have upper floors used as offices and apartments, as the city's downtown plan describes. In an apartment each closet carries a whole room, so it is fitted with drawers and shelves that reach the ceiling.

Older homes and garages collect long things: ladders, rakes, brooms and the extension cord that never coils neatly. A tall, narrow cabinet with hooks on the wall beside it keeps them upright and off the floor.

A coastal two-story home with white stucco and a tile roof on a quiet street near the lagoon in Carlsbad, California, the kind of home Closet World designers visit every week
