Oceanside Real Estate

Oceanside is a great community for those who want to live in San Diego's coastal North County, but don't want to pay the high real estate prices of Del Mar and Carlsbad.

Oceanside boasts an older neighborhood along the waterfront, with everything that traditionally accompanies it—great shopping, interesting eateries and fantastic events. But what sets this community apart from some of its area counterparts is its ability to expand inland.

Unencumbered by the restrictions that have halted growth in many of its neighbor towns, Oceanside, in recent years, has expanded eastward, opening up into more traditional suburban neighborhoods and making the coastal lifestyle more accessible to young couples and retirees alike. From the new condominiums closer to the shores, to the single-family homes further inland that house newlyweds and military couples stationed at the nearby Camp Pendleton, there is a living space available for everyone in Oceanside.

In fact, compared to nearby areas, where the average home price can linger in the millions, Oceanside's average real estate sales price is about $597,056 (as of February 2006). Because of the area's expansion, just about anyone can find the home they're looking for.

This population influx has led to improvements in public schools in the area. In fact, six local elementary schools were nominated for the Distinguished School Award, a state-wide honor. Mira Costa College, a community college, is located in the area, making it easy and convenient for adults to continue their educations.

And when school's out, there's plenty to do in the area. The tiny shops by the coast are juxtaposed with the larger retail outlets you'll find inland. Kids have a wide variety of community activities in a safe atmosphere. A regional travel center makes it easy to take a trip north or south via Greyhound, the Coaster or Amtrak. Or you can just enjoy the beach in your own backyard.
