How can I capture "the beach" in just a few pictures?
It's the place to be, the reason many people move to Southern California
in the first place. It's a recreation area, a place to escape and
relax, to beat the inland heat, to be inspired, or to stroll with
a waffle ice cream cone and people-watch.
It's also some of the most expensive real estate in the country.
This is the kind of place everyone tells me they dream of
when they move to California - a new house on the beach. This
one is over $5 Million. The lot alone sold for $2 Million.
So how about just something old, some fixer, just so I can
be near the beach? But the problem is that the land by itself
is very expensive, it doesn't matter what kind of fixer is on
it.
Here's an 8-plex being built on a piece of land that used
to have a small old house on it, so you can imagine what just
the raw land is worth to a builder.
This is a view along Carlsbad Boulevard. Here you see luxury
three-story condos replacing small homes like you see in the
middle of the picture. These condos right across the street
from the ocean command prices over $700K.
The bottom line is that many folks would live at the beach
if they had the means. Me, I live about a mile from the beach,
and find myself there frequently. It only takes a couple of
minutes in the car, and beach parking is free in Carlsbad.
