Del Mar is known all over the United States for its famous racetrack. But what draws in prospective buyers isn't necessarily what keeps them there. While people come to see the horses or maybe the San Diego County Fair, they stay in Del Mar because of its gorgeous custom-built homes, designed to maximize the panoramic views of the Pacific provided by the areas coast-grazing hills.
Del Mar gained attention during Hollywood's Golden Age, when celebrities would drive down from Los Angeles to play the horses and spend some time in their retreat. While the area still sees its share of celebrity, it is now a much more resident-focused community, but with the same luxuries that the Silver Screen sirens enjoyed.
Right alongside four-star restaurants are organic grocery stores and surf-inspired boutiques. At a weekly farmers market, residents linger alongside tourists. Many of the residents are employees of the nearby prestigious Salk Institute, Scripps Clinic or the University of California at San Diego. The sense of community in Del Mar is strong.
