Encinitas Real Estate

Encinitas is a coastal beach city in San Diego County, California. The largest single industry in the city is the growing of ornamental flowers, particularly poinsettias.

Encinitas can be divided into five areas:

• Old Encinitas: a small beachside area featuring a mix of businesses and housing styles. The Encinitas welcome arch and famous surf break Swamis and the early 20th century La Paloma Theater are located here. Old Encinitas is split from New Encinitas by a low coastal ridge.
• New Encinitas: a newer region which features golf courses, many shopping centers, and composed of larger tract homes.
• Olivenhain: a semi-rural region in eastern Encinitas, composed of mostly single family homes, an active 4-H Club, and several private equestrian facilities. Olivenhain connects to Rancho Santa Fe via Encinitas Blvd.
• Leucadia: an older community of the city. Leucadia features tree lined streets and boulevards. The community features art galleries, unusual stores, and restaurants, along with single family homes.
• Cardiff-by-the-Sea: Encinitas' southernmost oceanfront community, which features streets named after British cities and classical composers, the Lux Art Institute, and the San Elijo Campus of Mira Costa College.
