Welcome to Encinitas Real Estate

Encinitas is hands-down one of San Diego’s most charismatic beach towns. From eclectic Leucadia, to the upscale boutiques and restaurants in revitalized downtown Encinitas, diversity is part of its charm. This seaside community is known for its beaches and surf spots, stunning ocean view properties, independent shops and laid-back vibe.


As you cruise up the coast on the famous highway 101, you will pass Swami’s Beach, which was immortalized by the Beach Boys’ song “Surfing U.S.A.,” and is one of San Diego’s best surf spots. Further north, Moonlight Beach offers a little something for everyone – from families to sports enthusiasts.
Encinitas is unique among the communities in coastal North County. The city’s successful revitalization of its historic downtown, left all the charm of years gone by, while incorporating shops and restaurants that live up to the most discriminating, modern tastes.


Need a break from the beach and downtown? Spend a day connecting with nature at the San Diego Botanic Garden, adjacent to one of city’s most beloved communities, Encinitas Ranch. Many homes in this area offer ocean views on beautiful properties, interspersed amongst walking trails and one of the area’s most popular golf courses.
Whether you are enjoying beach volleyball, shopping, brunch or a yoga class, the sense of community in Encinitas is part of the lifestyle its residents enjoy. Our bet is that you will adore it, too!
