5 Southern California Coastal Homes and Investment Opportunities

Across the street from Leucadia Oaks Park in coastal Leucadia/Encinitas, this package pairs everyday neighborhood ease with a beach-close setting. Offered as three duplexes sold together, the property comprises six townhome units in total—each a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout with a one-car garage, laundry hookups inside, and its own yard. Morning routines can start with a walk past the park’s wide lawns, play gym, picnic tables, volleyball court, and kid-sized skateboard area, then continue on foot to nearby dining options and the beach. With three separate parcels, the configuration also supports flexibility over time, including the potential for future individual duplex sales or conversion to condos for separate unit ownership, all while maintaining a cohesive coastal footprint.

On a residential street in Encinitas, this expansive residence pairs a generous layout with views enjoyed from the backyard and multiple points throughout the home. The open, inviting floor plan is designed to flex easily between entertaining and everyday life, with eight bedrooms offering room for family, guests, and a dedicated home office. Six well-appointed bathrooms support the home’s large-scale living with ease. Updates span multiple eras: a new addition in 2010 contributes to an effective age of 2010, followed by a complete remodel in 2016 with a new roof and new wiring, and additional improvements in 2021 including new heating and plumbing. Out front, curb appeal comes by way of landscaping, mature trees, and even a wishing well, while the expansive lot leaves space for outdoor activities and gardening.
