Area Information
Solana Beach Real Estate
Solana Beach has several neighborhoods and each area has its own unique personality.
Sierra Avenue and the ocean front bluffs - This area winds along the seaside bluffs much as Neptune does in Leucadia. Sierra Avenue follows two miles of pristine coastline, with majestic bluffs approximately 80-90 feet high with several secluded coves. This area extends south to the Del Mar Racetrack.
Solana Highlands - These homes enjoy views of the ocean and/or the back country and often have superb sunny weather even when there may be a bit of fog along the beach.
Lomas Santa Fe - A golf course, a country club and newer homes dominate this planned community development located just east of Freeway 5.
San Elijo lagoon - San Elijo literally means "sheltered place" in Spanish. The lagoon is a regional park on north end of Solana Beach. There are a variety of custom homes, many of them larger 2 story homes.
Good custom residences exhibit all of the qualities of good residential architecture. A human-scaled entry, a covered porch or patio, and many display a strong tie to the environment which combine to create a unique California design. Many of the interiors use materials from the exteriors and help the transition from outdoors to indoors. These homes came into style in California during the 1970's.
Some homes were built along the bluffs in the 1930's, with some construction in the 1940's. The markets tumbled in 1959-60 and it was not until late 1967 that the trend reversed itself. Paul Tchang, a San Diego builder, constructed almost 100 premium homes in Solana Beach by 1969, 33 more were built in 1970 and 500 more from 1971 to 1977. Lomas Santa Fe completed their golf course and opened the sale of lots in Isla Verde in 1968. This signaled the beginning of a real estate boom which lasted into the 80's and 90's. There are many types of homes built in Solana Beach, but all seem to have a common casual California atmosphere.
