San Diego Communities

Carlsbad Real Estate

Leucadia Real Estate

South of Carlsbad, along the historic highway 101, you'll find Leucadia. The town named after a Greek Island and means "Isle of Paradise" or "Place of Shelter." The area along the rail road was settled in 1870 by a group of Spiritualists from England. They subdivided their land into 5-acre plots. Today you'll sill see the street names of a myriad of Greek Gods west of I-5. [more]

Oceanside Real Estate

Oceanside is just north of Carlsbad – and is, in fact, the first city you come to driving south on I-5 into San Diego County. Originally home to the American Indian group known as the Luiseño people, settlement as we understand it began in 1798 with the founding of the historic Mission San Luis Rey de Francia some four miles up river from the coast along the San Luis Rey River.

La Jolla Real Estate

La Jolla, pronounced “la-hoya,” is also known as the jewel of San Diego County 's coast. It's been a tourist destination since the 1880s. In 1887, the San Diego Union said "Say the French, 'See Paris and die! Make your home at La Jolla and Live, say I." [more]

Del Mar Real Estate

Del Mar is a delightful community located north of La Jolla a few miles. Downtown Del Mar is along the coastal bluffs. Close by is the site of the San Diego County fair which actually got its start in 1880 as an agricultural Fair to bring county farmers together to share ideas, see who had the best citrus fruit, who baked the best pie, and who had the fastest horse. Horse racing quickly became an important draw and was made legal in 1933. [more]
