Encinitas, California


 
Encinitas Links:
 

Often called "The Flower Capital of the World," the city of Encinitas spans six miles of shoreline and a total of 19.4 square miles in the center of North Coastal San Diego County. Home to approximately 60,000 residents, Encinitas offers the best of both worlds with its rare mix of rural atmosphere and big city services. The older, downtown, coastal area stands as a symbol of a rich heritage in direct contrast to the newer communities at the Eastern portion of the city.

Like most of its surrounding areas, Encinitas attracts young families who are drawn to the safe, suburban lifestyle, new homes (most specifically at Encinitas Ranch) and quality schools. Shopping is abundant in the many strip centers, along Highway 101 and at the popular Encinitas Ranch Town Center. Restaurants abound with a profusion of Italian Ristorantes and Sushi bars of all kinds. Many Encinitans work at home or in the small offices that line 2nd Street, as well as in retail establishments and educational facilities.

Though not as common a destination point for tourists as San Diego or Los Angeles, Encinitas has a rich history and some significant attractions. Among the most notable is Quail Botanical Gardens, a 30-acre oasis with 60-foot waterfall, open year round for a peaceful day in nature. Summer concerts as well as weddings are held in the outdoor gazebo and the annual Fall plant sale is not to be missed.

Encinitas offers a variety of housing types and prices are available in both old and new Encinitas. In the downtown area are large, remodeled homes dotting the cliffs, next to small, rustic beach cottages along 2nd, 3rd and 4th Streets.

East of Interstate 5 are most of the newer homes and developments, Encinitas Ranch being the largest. Along the golf course and down to the El Camino Real corridor, more than 1,000 luxury homes have been built. Price ranges for Encinitas single-family homes is $600,000 to $4 million; for condos, the range is $400,000 to over $2,000,000.

Olivenhain, California (Southeast Encinitas)

Olivenhain Community Links:
 

Situated in the Southeast section of Encinitas, this rural community offers the best of all worlds with close proximity to the city, beaches and freeways, with a country atmosphere and lifestyle. Bordered on the North by La Costa, East by Rancho Santa Fe, and South by the San Elijo Lagoon, Olivenhain is one of four communities that make up the city of Encinitas. The sprawling homes, many with ocean views and lush orchards, dot the foothills of this appealing, upscale family-oriented neighborhood. Olivenhain (prounounced Oh-LEE-ven-hine) was founded in 1884 and the name means "olive grove" in German, referring to its agricultural beginnings. The town still continues the tradition with flower and nursery growers, however, they are continually being replaced more and more by houses. Yet residents are doing what they can to keep development contained and to maintain the rural atmosphere where there are few sidewalks or streetlights. Winding two-lane roads, rail fences and horse trails invite walkers, bicyclists and four-legged creatures. The limited outdoor lighting affords a clear view of starlit skies.






Leucadia, California (Coastal Encinitas)


 
Leucadia Links:
 
A surf shop on the highway greets you with a sign announcing your arrival in Leucadia. Tucked comfortably between Carlsbad to the North and Encinitas to the South, Leucadia is a quaint, seaside community that extends for three and a half square miles from the coast inland just past Interstate 5 ending at El Camino Real.

Home to more than 11,000 residents, Leucadians enjoy their remote, rural community, while many commute to work, a half hour drive to San Diego or a trip on the Amtrak South or to points North like Orange County or Los Angeles. Like other Encinitas residents, children attend the schools in the Encinitas Union School District and San Dieguito Union High School District.

Best known for its outstanding beaches, Leucadia's Grandview, Beacon's and Stone Steps provide the best waves for surfers, as well as somewhat rock-laden, kelp-strewn sand for walking or sunbathing (mostly at low tides). In addition, the two beach parks, Leucadia State Beach and Encinitas County Beach, draw locals and visitors looking for a remote place to fish, swim or picnic. Public access to the beaches is available by several steep stairways leading down from Neptune Avenue. Among the numerous antique shops along the Highway 101 corridor one of the most notable is Caldwell's Antiques, a family-run business specializing in old radios, advertising, jukeboxes and slot machines since 1963. Next door is ABC Trading Company, selling vintage vinyl records and life sized statues of the Blues Bros., Betty Boop and Marilyn Monroe. A long-time fixture in Leucadia is the Panniken, formerly the Encinitas Train Depot. When the station was to be demolished in 1975, a local resident saved it, turning it into a popular coffee house/art gallery and it remains one of the most significant rail and historical structures in San Diego County. The first ever Taste of Leucadia International Food Festival took place in April 2004 and promises to be an annual event. Featuring food from more than 15 local restaurants, the festival also hosted art displays, live music and other performance art along Highway 101.

The more than 5,000 housing units comprise small cottages (mostly downtown) intertwined with newer custom-built properties (many along Quail Gardens Road, near Encinitas Ranch Golf Course) and a few apartment and condominium projects (lining Vulcan Avenue) a truly eclectic housing mix. Prices for condominiums start at $450,000 and go up to $2 million+, while single-family homes range from $700,000 to more than $5 million for homes with unparalleled ocean views.

Real Estate Tips
Making An Offer >Negotiations Part 2

If you are the buyer in a home sale transaction, you should be prepared to submit an offer to the seller. An offer is not simply the price -- there are more components involved.

The real estate agent will act as the conveyor of information. There are a few things to look out for in such negotiations: 1) include a finance contingency, even if you have loan pre-approval, 2) insist on an engineer's, termite and radon inspection contingencies, 3) itemize the personal property you want included, such as chandeliers or drapes, and 4) submit the closing date you prefer.

Buyers should be prepared to make their best offer first, but if that offer is not acceptable to the seller, they should expect to go through a round of counter-offers.
