Encinitas

 

Encinitas is a refined beach city in the northern part of San Diego County, 25 miles away from Downtown San Diego. This is a thriving community with gorgeous homes for sale, many upscale shopping and dining options, as well as fantastic country clubs and resorts.

 

Encinitas is best known for the golden sands of Moonlight Beach, which is one of San Diego County’s most attractive waterfront stretches. The magnificent surf spot of Swami’s is another Encinitas beachfront highlight, named one of California’s premier surf spots and was even mentioned in the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ USA.”

 

This is a community which elegantly combines the old with the new. Old Encinitas can be found along the wonderful scenic stretch of Coastal Highway 101, with historic buildings including the grand Spanish Colonial Revival-style La Paloma Theater. A coastal ridge separates Old and New Encinitas, with the latter home to the magnificent Encinitas Ranch Golf Course. Surrounded by spectacular sheer bluffs, this is easily one of San Diego County’s most picturesque golfing locations.

 

The sprawling San Diego Botanic Garden is one of many green spaces located within this attractive city.

 

Encinitas is zoned for the San Dieguito Union High and Encinitas Union Elementary School Districts.

 

What makes Encinitas unique? Encinitas’ real estate mix includes exquisite Cape Cods and Craftsman homes and luxurious custom builds, with oceanfront properties offering incredible Pacific views, and the chance to catch a glimpse of migrating whales. The largest tracts of land tend to be found in New Encinitas, which is the site for many of the city’s largest modern properties.

 

Distinctive communities can be found throughout Encinitas, with each offering their own advantages. Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Olivenhain are particularly noteworthy enclaves of luxury housing, while many single-family homes can be found along the tree-lined boulevards of Leucadia.

 

Encinitas and the surrounding area is full of luxurious resorts and wonderful shops and restaurants. Aside from the gorgeous bluff-ensconced fairways of Encinitas’ own golf course, the wonderful facilities of Carlsbad’s La Costa Resort & Spa are located a short distance away. Aside from its exceptional full-service spa treatments, La Costa’s incredible amenities include two championship golf courses, eight swimming pools, and 17 tennis courts.

 

Another outstanding local spa facility can be found at The Inn at Moonlight Beach. Nestled beside Encinitas’ most iconic waterfront stretch, The Inn provides cutting-edge treatments and impeccable opportunities for rejuvenation and replenishment.

 

This exciting city is home to many enticing dining and entertainment options. Solace & The Moonlight Lounge serves delectable classic and modern American dishes, with daily specials and live music performances. Vigilucci’s Trattoria Italiana offers delectable fresh seafood, authentic homemade pasta dishes, and wood-fired pizzas, accompanied by live piano performances. 3rd Corner Wine Shop & Bistro is a hip place providing a unique combination of wine retailers and upscale Californian Bistro.
