Del Mar is best known for two square miles of coastal land famous for its fairgrounds and race track "where the surf meets the turf." Fantastic ocean front properties and winding streets supply a feel of an upscale community with character and charm. This coastal zone also includes the San Dieguito River estuary and a peninsula like strip of ocean front land. This part of Del Mar is real beach living, reminiscent of Newport, CA, and has some great beach access and homes right on the sand.

The village of Del Mar has tremendous charm and a special place in San Diego history. For fans of Carmel-by-the-Sea on the central California coast, this is the warmer, southern version with artistic canyons interspersed with hillsides of homes. The main street, Camino Del Mar, features trendy shops and unique restaurants. Art galleries, fantastic ocean views and winding streets supply a feel of an upscale community with classy character. This is where our office is located.

Torrey Pines is a beautiful area on the southern end of Del Mar. Torrey Pines is adjacent to a California State Reserve, and makes it quite special. This area is surrounding the intersection of Camino Del Mar at Carmel Valley Road and the Pacific Ocean. Homes in this area often have beautiful views of the estuary and the Pacific Ocean.

Nestled among the coastal foothills, Carmel Valley is an exciting and growing area in which to find newer homes and residential real estate. It is a mix of single family dwellings, apartments and condos, all of which were built after 1980. These homes are a short commute to San Diego.
