The Sea Ridge community in Dana Point has some of the nicest ocean view condos for sale and often priced well under $700,000.  Located in a prime area in the downtown Dana Point community, Sea Ridge has a lot to offer.  The association provides residents with a first class community pool, spa, clubhouse and tennis court.  Wonderful ocean views can be seen from these facilities which makes it feel more like a resort than a residential community.  I sold one of my first condos in this Sea Ridge community and was instantly surprised at how good of a view these condos have.   The streets are tiered up to allow ocean views from each level.  The higher the streets the better the view.  The condos will range from 2 to 3 bedrooms and average around 2,000 square
