Del Mar

 
Del Mar - "where the surf meets the turf" - is a chic, beach town and home to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which hosts the Del Mar Racetrack and the San Diego County Fair.  Del Mar is located north of La Jolla, about a half-hour drive from downtown San Diego and adjacent to Torrey Pines State Beach; this quaint village features boutique shopping and many fine restaurants.  Families are attracted to Del Mar because of the high-ranking public schools, great beaches, summer concerts "by the sea", and long walks on Dog Beach.

Del Mar boasts one of the most agreeable climates in the western United States.  Real estate offerings consist primarily of lovely single-family homes and estates, many with spectacular ocean views. A few condos and townhouses can also be found.  The area is quite affluent and the housing options reflect that, as most homes are large, ranging from three (3) to seven (7) bedrooms, with very large lots and square footage.  Prices for these beautiful homes range from the low $1,000,000s to just under $30 million for prime properties on the beach. There are also some condominiums and townhouses available on the east side of Pacific Coast Highway, with prices ranging from the mid $600,000s into the millions.
