Del Mar

Del Mar is a small seaside city located 20 miles north of downtown San Diego. Del Mar (Spanish for “of the sea” or “by the sea”) is best known for its beautiful weather and beaches, as well as the county fair and world-famous thoroughbred racetrack. Hosted at the Del Mar Fairgrounds every summer, the San Diego County Fair is an old-fashioned celebration of crafts, agriculture, carnival rides and food. The Beach Boys paid homage to the town’s popular beaches in their hit “Surfin’ USA,” while Bing Crosby immortalized the Del Mar Turf Club in his 1941 song “Where the Turf Meets the Surf.”

Del Mar is a lovely blend of the La Jolla lifestyle in a more relaxed, beachy environment. Its picturesque beaches and public parks just steps from the sand make Del Mar a popular destination for sunbathers, surfers and family picnics. Del Mar is also a dog friendly community, offering a portion of the beach for dogs to play.

Beauty abounds in Del Mar with the breathtaking blue of the ocean, the sandy beaches and the natural canyons interspersed with lovely homes. Torrey Pines State Reserve, 2,000 preserved acres of San Diego County, bounds the city to the south and offers miles of immaculate beaches, wonderful hiking trails, stunning ocean vistas, and a lagoon for observation of migrating birds. Just minutes from the world class Torrey Pines Golf Course, Del Mar is an easy commute to University of California at San Diego and La’ Jolla’s Golden Triangle area with its numerous biotech and communications companies. In addition to its natural beauty and convenient location, many people choose Del Mar for its award-winning public schools.

For those who call Del Mar home, this charming seaside town offers so much more. Quaint coffee shops and upscale designer shops coexist on the main commercial strip, Camino del Mar. The historic downtown village is home to the five star L’Auberge Del Mar Resort, fabulous restaurants, retail & specialty shops. Take your pick of fine dining options with spectacular ocean views or enjoy sidewalk seating at many of the small cafes that line the main street in the Village.

Purchasing Del Mar real estate either as a residence or as an investment may be one of the most important investment decisions you will ever make. In general, expect to pay $1 million for “entry-level” housing – meaning you’ll get a house you can live in, but that, considering many homes and condominiums were built in the 1970s and earlier, you’ll probably want to renovate it. Homes on or near the beach may range from $2 million to over $30 million dollars.
