San Diego is indisputably named America's Finest City for its sprawling beaches, mountains and real estate that are here in abundance. Located in sunny southern California, San Diego has over 70 miles of beaches and is boarded by Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Laguna Mountains and the Anza-Borrego Desert. It is California's second-largest city with more than 1.2 million residents.
With beautiful homes offering sensational scenic views of the ocean and the city's cascading hills, San Diego's real estate continues to attract families from across the country. The median home price in the city is $399,900. La Jolla, Coronado, Pacific Beach and Mission Bay are among the most popular neighborhoods in the area.
Homes in the La Jolla area can reach the multimillion-dollar range. This exclusive locale is an old established historical village and an international enclave of luxury homes. La Jolla luxury homes come in many different architectural styles. Mission Beach spans nearly two miles of ocean between Mission Bay to the east and Pacific Beach to the north. Filled with upscale, pastel-colored homes and condos, with a measure of old-style cottages and beach apartments, it's a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The boardwalk at Mission Beach offers some of the best people watching in all of San Diego.
'''Plenty of family attractions'''
Biotechnology is one of the reasons San Diego is influential in the world today. Since its debut in California after the Cold War, biotechnology research has continued in the La Jolla region at the University of California at San Diego and at the headquarters of two large biotechnology corporations: Neurocrine Biosciences and Nventa Biopharmaceuticals.
San Diego has a lot to offer residents. The Gaslamp Quarter — the cultural center of the city — is a common dining, shopping and entertainment district. Featuring many Spanish-style buildings, Balboa Park is the nation's largest urban cultural park with 15 major museums, performing arts venues and the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
For more activities, the Sea World Adventure Park gives families the opportunity to learn more about local aquatic life and their ecosystems. San Diego is also home to three major professional sports teams: the Padres (MLB), Chargers (NFL) and the Pumitas (MLS). Whether you come to enjoy the sandy beaches or see the beautiful sites, there is no time like the present to begin your San Diego home search.
