Encinitas Homes
The six mile stretch of beautiful Southern California coastline which makes up the City of Encinitas sits comfortably between two tranquil lagoons. The area’s landscape is quite diverse, with not only beautiful coastal beaches, but rolling hills that meet flat-topped coastal areas, and steep mesa bluffs with cliffs that plunge into the sea. Named for the native live oaks in the area, Encinitas was settled in 1881 and has enjoyed a great deal of growth and prosperity through the years.
Today, this upper-class coastal beach city is comprised of some quite distinctly different areas. Historic Downtown Encinitas, or Old Encinitas, lies along the waterline offering a great mixture historic architecture, local businesses, sidewalk cafes, and a number of turn of the century Encinitas homes. New Encinitas, with its Spanish roots today has a booming business district, larger tract homes, and a golf course. Leucadia is known for its single family Encinitas California homes placed along giant eucalyptus trees lined streets, art galleries, specialty boutiques, and local landmark restaurants. Olivenhain has open horse country, with pastures and a scattering of Encinitas homes which offer a more rural lifestyle.
Through the years, many scientists, professional athletes, actors, writers, artists and persons of note have had their own homes in Encinitas. Residents enjoy a number of parks with water features, rock climbing and picnic areas, camping on San Elijo State Beach, and recreational trails for use by hikers and walkers, bicyclists and equestrian. The world renowned San Diego Botanic Gardens is in Encinitas, and Encinitas Ranch Golf Course is pleasantly located on the hills with magnificent views of the ocean. In addition, Encinitas CA real estate offers residents access to some of the best surf in the country.
