Welcome to Point Loma

Refined taste and resort-style living in San Diego’s incredible peninsula community
 
 
The Point Loma peninsula is an iconic San Diego sight, spanning seven miles of spectacular topography. The rugged land juts out between San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean and sports a dual identity. Part geographical wonder and part resort paradise, Point Loma dazzles with dramatic views of Downtown San Diego, wild beauty, and historical significance. Juan Rodrigeuz Cabrillo, a European maritime explorer, first stepped foot here in 1542, and Point Loma has since carried the distinction of being the place “where California began.” Today this unique spot boasts incredible hiking, marinas, yacht clubs, historic statues, and some of California’s most exquisite real estate.

Point Loma real estate has a split personality as if inspired by the land itself. Cozy cottages dot the community and provide an air of classic beach town living, while historic architecture evokes the sentiments of yesteryear with everything from Mission Revival to mid-century and craftsman styles. Sprawling estates in Sunset Cliffs and La Playa provide breathtaking views and lavish details like private docks and marinas, while new construction builds shine in the form of lofts and condominiums in Liberty Station.
