Mission Beach typifies the Southern California beach experience. Located on one of San Diegos most popular shorelines, The Strand, Mission Beach draws in all sorts of peopleâfrom summer vacationers to teenagers gathering in warm weather, to adults who just want to get away from it all. Most of Mission Beachs real estate spends its warmer months rented out, a week at a time, to those who want to spend their days laying in the sun and soaking in all that San Diego has to offer. An investment in Mission Beach real estate, then, is a wise one. Many Mission Beach property owners use their beachfront property as a second home, visiting in the winter when the beach is quiet and the weather still tops that of most of the rest of the country. Mission Beach is one of few places in San Diego that is pedestrian-friendly. Parking is hard to find here (most beachfront property comes with one parking space) and the area is compact, so its tempting to strike out on foot. In the summer, neighbors-for-a-week sit out in front of their rental homes and chat in between heading down to the waves. Mission Beach homes are laid out to take maximum advantage of property closest to the water. A series of tiny streets (sidewalks, really) run perpendicular from the boardwalk to the main road and the result is that the area always seems busy and active. The famous Belmont Park roller coaster runs nearby day and night, and the shopping center nearby sells everything a renter would need for their beach experience. Its a great place for young people or families to get away to for a week of excitement.
