Ocean Beach Real Estate
Looking for funky charm (or charming funk)? You cant beat Ocean Beach (OB), one of San Diego’s most popular neighborhoods. Stranded in time somewhere back in the 1960s, OB’s streets are lined with Volkswagen buses, not SUVs. Surfers, bikers and other free-spirited citizens are proud of their motto: Ocean Beach – Its Beside the Point (Point Loma).
Single family detached homes in Ocean Beach range in price from $535,000 for a two bedroom, one bathroom, 850 square foot home built in 1913 to $2,800,000 for a five bedroom, five bathroom, 4,450 square foot home built in 1952.
Ocean Beach condos range in price from $369,000 fro a two bedroom, two bathroom, 990 square foot home built in 1966 to $1,400,000 for a two bedroom, three bathroom, 1500 square foot home built in 1976.
Ocean Beach attracts a variety of musicians, activists, artists, and surfers, but increasingly, working professionals are populating the area, as Ocean Beach housing is renovated and home prices rise. Ocean Beach real estate is split up among single family residences, single story beach cottages, duplexes, and condo complexes.
For a variety of reasons, tourists don’t usually find their way to Ocean Beach so residents are able to keep it pretty much to themselves all year long. Ocean Beach homes tend to be older and VERY small, many of them are brightly colored bungalows with tiny yards although there are a number of mansions and upscale luxury homes as well, many of them right on the beach.
Two favorite Ocean Beach landmarks are the OB Pier and Dog Beach. The Ocean Beach Pier is the longest commercial pier on the West Coast. Ocean Beach’s laid back downtown is home to boutiques, antique shops and coffeehouses.
Each Wednesday, one block of downtown is dedicated to a Farmers Market, bringing locally grown produce, cheeses, cakes, meats, etc., live music, dancers and visitors. Yearly events include the summer Chili Cook-off and Street Fair and the Christmas Parade and tree-lighting.
