Ocean Beach is one of San Diego's most popular communities. Ocean Beach residents think of the area as more than just a neighborhood; to them, it is a lifestyle. Boasting their hometown on bumper stickers and t-shirts isn't unusual, just as wearing sandals year-round and supporting more than one tattoo parlor per block isn't strange.

What makes Ocean Beach so popular is its laid-back atmosphere. While mainly surfers and hippies populated the area from the 1960s onwards, it has now attracted a more diverse group of individuals and families. Its commitment to being an individual neighborhood devoid of corporate influence remains strong; however, a couple of years ago it again sprang into the news with its mass protest of a Starbuck's plan to open in the neighborhood.

While the beach and the great shopping can attract tourists, Ocean Beach is more off the beaten path than many other coastal enclaves, and out-of-towners find it difficult to get there. The result is an area more secluded than many of San Diego's beach communities. In the summer, when tourists flood San Diego, residents of Ocean Beach cherish their relative quiet.

In October 2007, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Ocean Beach was $646,188. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
