Located at one of the most visible and strategically positioned gateways into Historic Downtown Lake Elsinore, this ±0.71-acre commercial parcel presents an exceptional ground lease opportunity tailored for retail, fuel, fast food, and drive-thru concepts seeking prominent exposure in a high-traffic Southern California corridor. With direct frontage along North Main Street and effortless access to Interstate 15, the site offers superb visibility to both local consumers and regional travelers moving through the Southwest Riverside County trade area.
The parcel sits within the Historic Downtown Lake Elsinore Overlay District, a zone designed to encourage commercial vibrancy and pedestrian activity while supporting retailers that benefit from strong vehicular counts and tourism-driven demand. Its flat topography, lack of existing structures, and availability of full utilities including gas, water, sewer, and power allow for streamlined development timelines and flexible site planning. This enhances suitability for quick-serve operators, fuel brands, or national retailers targeting infill locations with meaningful exposure.
Lake Elsinore continues to benefit from sustained residential growth, a strengthening employment base, and increasing visitor activity connected to the lakefront, recreation areas, and evolving downtown corridor. These fundamentals position the site as a strong long-term location for operators seeking both immediate traffic capture and lasting brand visibility in the Riverside County region. With its combination of freeway access, central location, flexible zoning, and development-ready conditions, 516 N Main St offers a compelling foundation for retailers looking to establish a high-impact presence in one of the region’s most active suburban markets.
