Central Coastal
OCEAN BEACH
One of San Diego’s premier ocean view communities, Ocean Beach is known for its row of antique stores, breakfast restaurants and a quarter mile long fishing pier where surfers and fishermen meet. The community has a decades long history as one of San Diego’s most colorful, character-filled beach towns. Many of the houses here are built on hills and offer whitewater and mountain views.
BAY PARK
Just up the hill from Interstate 5, east of Sea World, sits Bay Park. With its cul-de-sacs, vistas and views of Mission Bay, this tightly knit community retains much of its historical ethnic flavor. Adjacent to the University of San Diego and blessed with both churches and parochial schools, Bay Park is upper middle class yet very down-to-earth.
MISSION BEACH
Just north of where the San Diego River empties into the ocean, Mission Beach epitomizes California cool—a place where world-class volleyball players and surfers mingle at water’s edge. Mission Beach and the adjacent Mission Bay
Mission Beach Boardwalk
feature a mix of condos, single- family houses and vacation rentals. It is truly a young professional’s paradise where fitness rules.
PACIFIC BEACH
With its well-kept bungalows and thousands of condos and rental units, Pacific Beach is where the surf meets the graduates. Pacific Beach engulfs an eclectic mix of nightspots, restaurants and mom and pop shops where empty nesters and singles congregate. At the southern end stands Crown Point, an idyllic neighborhood that surrounds tranquil Mission Bay. Crown Point has both condos and homes and attracts a lively seniors market.
La Playa neighborhood of Pt. Loma
LA JOLLA
Named “the most desirable place to live in the world” (Robb Report), La Jolla is where two million dollar homes are the rule rather than the exception. This internationally recognized community houses top- drawer boutiques, jewelry
stores, art galleries, restaurants and hotels, many with stunning ocean views. In addition to serving as a finance center, the North Torrey Pines area is home to the prestigious Salk Institute, Scripps Hospital and the University of California at San Diego.
