Dana Point
If waking up to the Pacific is on your wishlist, Dana Point delivers. Communities like The Strand at Headlands and Monarch Bay offer sweeping views, private beach access and upscale designs. Many homes feature spacious decks, gourmet kitchens and direct pathways to the sand, and they tend to hold value well over time.
Dana Point is renowned for luxury, but it also has homes for more modest budgets. Areas like Lantern Village and Doheny Village offer charming cottages, townhomes and condos — many within walking distance of our beaches and parks guide. You’ll find condos with community pools and gyms, single‑family homes with smaller footprints and even mobile homes in well‑kept, resident‑owned parks.
