Del Mar
Living in Del Mar is as close to a fairy tale as you will find on earth. The majority of the homes
in the area were built in the 1940’s and 1980’s. You will find that Del Mar offers a beautiful community right on the beach or homes dotting the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Del Mar is the smallest city located on the Pacific Ocean. Many of the homes were at one time owned by movie stars or other celebrities.
If you want a quiet retreat with beautiful scenery, then you must also check out what Del Mar has to offer. You can find luxurious homes on the golf course, overlooking the ocean or the racetrack, or charming cottages on the beach, the sad news is that homes in this area are rarely for sale.
Del Mar is considered a beach community that offers residents a close-knit way of life with more scenic views than you could imagine. Del Mar may seem like it is miles away from the big city, but it is only 15 miles from the downtown area of San Diego. The city of Del Mar has strict laws regarding development in their community all geared toward keeping that small town feel. No developments can obstruct existing views and no drive thru’s are allowed.
When one chooses Del Mar as their home they are truly ones that enjoy the beauty in nature, wish to protect the environment, and live life to the fullest with swimming, hiking, surfing, tennis, golfing, horseback riding, hot air ballooning and just relaxing on the beach. The downtown area provides just the touch for that country feel with outdoor cafes, charming boutiques, and fine dining.
The main reason Del Mar is a sought after location to call home is of course the sun and the beaches. Del Mar has its own stretch of beach along the Pacific Ocean divided into three unique beaches. To the north you will find Dog Beach, to the south you will find Torrey Pines, and right in the middle you will find Del Mar Beach. Throughout the beachfront, there are all kinds of activities and events, so you can always find a reason to visit the beach and take in some sunshine.
Del Mar is one to a farmers market that convenes every Saturday afternoon and the sky above Del Mar is often filled with hot air balloons, and then there’s the racetrack for you horse racing fans.
At the time of this writing, the real estate listings for Del Mar included attached one bedroom home for just under $200,000 and a two bedroom attached home for close to $300,000. Detached homes ranged in price from $700,000 to $1,500,000, with the most expensive home on the market being around $62,000,000. If you are looking for the perfect home to fit your lifestyle, Del Mar might just be that place, ask a Del Mar realtor to help you find the home of your dreams.
