With the current state of the real estate market, there has been a recent surge in the number of UK residents searching for homes and condos for sale in San Diego. The reason for this can be attributed to the state of the US dollar. With the British pound being worth so much more, UK residents looking for a second home are taking advantage of the situation. Several of the areas such as La Jolla, Coronado, Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar are some of the most popular areas to search for luxury homes. With their “dreamy” real estate usually reserved for the abundantly rich, UK residents can now own these properties at almost bargain prices.
La Jolla is known for its beautiful, clean beaches (the city cleans them every morning), perfect weather and fantastic homes. The proximity of shopping and restaurants also make this area a favorite. La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Shores Heights, La Jolla Farms, The Village, Windansea Beach, Beach-Barber Tract, Hidden Valley, Muirlands / Muirlands West and the Country Club are the most desired areas in La Jolla.
Coronado is a site to behold. Sometimes referred to as Coronado Island, it is actually the head of a peninsula which offers protection for the Harbor and San Diego Bay. Coronado is home to the Hotel de Coronado, as well as, some of the finest real estate in San Diego. Its isolated resort feel makes it an ideal location for residents and visitors alike, and features a very low crime rate.
If you are looking for horse property and opulent homes, look no further than Rancho Santa Fe. This area is host to the most expensive real estate in San Diego and is the highest income community in the US. Rancho Santa Fe is home to approximately 3200 people and over 1200 households. Most popular areas include, The Covenant, Horsemans Valley, Rancho Cielo, Morgan Run (golf course community), as well as, Fairbanks Ranch, The Summit, The Bridges, The River Estates, The Crosby Estates and Hacienda Santa Fe.
Just north of La Jolla lies Del Mar, which features many oceanfront properties and wonderful weather. The median income for Del Mar is $108,000 and has over 2100 households. Featured attractions are the Del Mar Racetrack, which is part of the Del Mar Fairgrounds and the Torrey Pines State Beach.
