Real Estate Opportunities And Coastal San Diego Properties

By William Richardson


For people who have never been there, California often seems like another country entirely instead of just another state on the American continent. They may have mental pictures of surfers, celebrities, sunny days, and lots of hot, dry weather. For others, the west coast is somewhere they think of living and putting down permanent roots. People with plenty of financial resources may even be considering coastal San Diego properties.

This is not the least expensive area of the country to live in. Real estate prices are usually at a premium, and if money is an issue, beachfront property may not be right for you. You will probably have more options when you look within the city of San Diego, CA itself. Apartments are available in a variety of price ranges. Condos and townhouses will be less expensive than a single family home.

California beachfront living is not for everybody. Commutes to work can be difficult, the weather can be volatile, and the relative solitude is not to everyone's taste. A lot of people prefer more traditional neighborhoods and the way seasons transition from summer to winter in other parts of the country.

Some just love the nearly year round heat and sun that makes active outdoor living possible. Dedicated surfers gravitate to the challenge of San Diego's waves and fishermen can enjoy life on the water, boating and reeling in record size halibut and bass. Still other beachcombers cannot imagine living anywhere they are not able to walk, ride, or jog at the ocean's edge.

You will find that certain areas of the San Diego coast are even pricier than others. La Jolla and Del Mar are generally considered extremely exclusive, while Mission Beach or Pacific Beach are somewhat less so. Either way you can expect to be looking at multimillion dollar properties. Some are in the eight figure range. If this is something you can afford, you can and should expect every luxury.

For those with a comfortable lifestyle, but without million dollar pocketbooks, condominiums can be an attractive alternative. Certain people prefer the communal type of life a condo affords and the amenities that come along with it. Pools, state of the art exercise equipment, valet services and security guards can be a part of your purchase price.

For those who are able to live on the coast full time, renting a vacation beach house might be just the thing. Most come fully furnished down to the bedding, pots, pans, and silverware. The cost of such a rental unit varies widely and will depend on where the property is located, how large it is, and what other amenities come with it. You could even spread the expense by inviting others to stay with you.

If you decide that you want to make the California coast your permanent home, the San Diego area may be just what you are looking for. You can certainly look forward to plenty of sand and surf and sunshine.
