When the combination of urban luxury and sandy beaches come together, we might think of high rises in Miami, Los Angeles, La Jolla or Honolulu.
San Diego County now boasts a second urban and beach destination: Oceanside Terraces, the new luxury midrise residence in downtown Oceanside.
We spend a great deal of time here and think we are in heaven, because we are dealing with amazed guests and interested buyers all day long.
Many step off the new Sprinter train next door, having come for a day trip from inland Escondido, Valley Center, San Marcos or Vista-or from San DIego to the south, They cant resist checking out Oceanside’s version of luxurious high rise living. Others come from Los Angeles, Orange County, North Dakota, Connecticut, Manhattan, Tucson, Las Vegas and Scottsdale–and are no less amazed.
The most excited guests, though, are Oceanside residents, who watched the construction of Oceanside Terraces over the last few years.
They understand the significance of this six-story multi-use building with prime retail on the first floor, offices on the second, and residences and penthouses on the fourth through sixth floors. They know that downtown Oceanside is becoming a walkable community and is on its way to becoming a shining model for urban living. They also know they have 3.5 miles of great beaches, the longest wooden pier on the West Coast, a balmy year round climate, and some of the friendliest people in San Diego County.
They are also savvy and know that Oceanside Terraces offers the coastal urban lifestyle so many buyers are seeking:
- They want spacious single level homes large enough for guests, entertaining and long-term living.
- They want close proximity to the beach. (How about 400 yards?)
- They want a walkable community that offers fine dining, shopping, museums and farmers markets.
- They want secure buildings, adequate covered parking and large lockable storage for bicycles, surfboards and other toys.
- They want to be close to public transportation. (How about a train and transit center on the adjacent block?). They want an easy train ride to downtown San Diego to see Padres games, San Diego Civic Center theater productions, or perhaps enjoy dinner or a day in San Diegos Old Town or Gaslamp District. The appeal of more distant travel also beckons as a possibility with Amtrak.
Oceanside Terraces offer floorplans that range from 1730 to almost 2600 square feet. Prices range from the high $500s to $1.7 million and many boast sparkling ocean views.
