MISSION BEACH
Mission Beach is the San Diego beach neighborhood south of Pacific Beach and north of Ocean Beach. The primary geographic feature that separates Mission Beach from Pacific Beach is that Mission Beach consists only of the strip of land separating the Pacific Ocean from Mission Bay. This unique geography makes Mission Beach somewhat of a goldmine when it comes to real estate as well.
A good percentage of the properties are either beach front or bay front and all properties are within a block of both the beach and the bay. As an investment opportunity Mission Beach is a good bet as well. Many of the properties can be rented out weekly in the summer months (June to September) at a weekly rate comparable to the winter monthly rates as tourists flock from Arizona and Nevada to escape the scorching summer heat.
Although small, Mission Beach is a fairly diverse community. Certain areas are much more peaceful while other areas are in the center of the action. We know the neighborood as well or better than any of the general San Diego real estate brokers and can provide you with the expertise that will make the purchase process as enjoyable as living in your dream home.
For those looking for a peaceful quiet beach location the areas right around the roller coaster between San Fernando and Jamaica Courts should be avoided. Typically the bayside is more peaceful and quiet while the ocean front is often bustling with locals and visitors alike, especially in the busy summer months from June through September. Many of the Mission Beach walking courts offer friendly neighborhoods with cute yards and no driving traffic and are often much more affordable when compared to the water front locations. Ocean front is typically best as an investment opportunity as many of the ocean front units demand top dollar as summer rentals.

The three-mile long boardwalk - made famous in movies - creates a never-ending summer and beach life. The boardwalk even stays open until early morning, creating a timelessness to boardwalk fun.
Much care has been given to the development of Pacific Beach, exemplified by the citizen sponsored 30 foot height limitation passed in the 1970’s. Preservation of their unique community values had become a priority for the residents of Pacific Beach. The spirit of those times is alive today as the local folk walk or bicycle around the beach with a casual carefree attitude that is positively infectious. Pacific Beach Real Estate is as varied as the local residents. From tiny cottages near the beach, to condos and apartments on the ‘flats’, larger bungalows on Crown Point, to hillside homes with commanding views of the Pacific Ocean, there exist Pacific Beach real estate investment opportunities to compliment any lifestyle.
