The Harbor Cove condo complex offers a unique location that is literally right in the middle of the Downtown Dana Point area.  I love these condos since they tend to offer high quality living spaces that is a short walking distance to the beach as well as having some great restaurants and shopping located right outside the building.  One thing that rarely comes up here are ocean view condos which is what a new condo listing has to offer. 24582 Del Prado #220 has just come on the market less than 10 days ago and is currently listed at $1,199,000.  The two bedroom, two bath condo features an approximate 1,280 square feet with two different levels of living space.

This was a great year for the luxury real estate market in Dana Point as two of the top three highest sales this year took place in the ocean front community of Monarch Bay.  It seems like every year the highest sales tend to be in the newer Strand at Headlands community which offers some amazing homes including the third highest sale this year.  However, the Monarch Bay community has really gone through a wonderful transformation that first started when the homes switch from being located on leased land to where you own your own land.  Since then we have seen a higher interest in this community and even the front gated entrance is seeing a major face lift as well.  

63 Monarch Bay Drive, Dana Point comes in as the highest sale at $33 million dollars

The Grand Monarch community featured new construction condos back in 2015 and the demand for these properties hasn't seen to wavier since then.  We still get a lot of calls from clients who are looking for a community located next to the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort which is exactly what you will find at Grand Monarch.  Beyond being a secure gated community right next to the resort, the quality of construction and well thought out floor plans is what attracts many buyers to this location in addition to the nice golf and ocean views that can be seen from select condos located here.  The most popular properties located here tend to be those situated on the front row which offers views of the Monarch Beach golf links golf course with distant ocean

One of the latest trends in real estate here by the beach are buyers looking for one story homes with little to no steps.  This makes sense as many of the baby boomers are realizing that they don't need a large home with a lot of levels and have often chosen for a simple one story floor plan.  There are several neighborhoods in the Dana Point area that do offer some nice single level homes even though there are no senior communities like what you would find in the neighboring town of San Clemente like the Talega Gallery, Colony Cove and Bay Cliff Village which all are dedicated tracts for those older than 55 years of age.  

One of the best places to start your search is the Niguel Shores community in Dana Point.  A lot of our clients LOVE this

Dana Point has a wide variety of architectural style homes with the large majority of homes built in the Mediterranean, Spanish, Traditional with some Contemporary style homes.  One of the unique architectural styles that we are starting to see is the Hamptons style homes. These homes tend to be really grand with an east coast vibe to it with gray siding, white trim around the windows and doors with accent round windows above the French doors.  If you can picture this than this is the essence of a Hamptons style which is also pictured below.

One of the best places to find these homes is in the newer gated community in Dana Point known as "The Strand at Headlands" which located on the beach front.  A perfect example of this is a home located in this

The city of Dana Point offers a wide variety of properties from stunning ocean front homes to amazing ocean view condos.  For those wanting to find a condo that is within walking distance to the beach there are several great places we like to recommend.  Of course, many people have different ideas on how far of a walk to the beach is considered within walking distance so we picked the properties we feel like are the closest to the beach with a short walking distance radius.  There are still others that are located just outside our map coverage area so there will always be more that will be available at any given time.  Here are our best places to look.

The city of Dana Point has a large number of gated communities with a large majority of them found in the upscale Monarch Beach area.  These include exclusive communities like The Strand at Headlands, Ritz Cove and Monarch Bay where it's not uncommon to find homes listed for over the $10 million dollars.  While many love the security that comes with living in a gated community some don't like the appeal of them being so large and prefer a smaller and more intimate neighborhood.  There are some small gated areas of homes that we love to recommend.

The first community is a little tract called Point Vista neighborhood which is only located on one street that has a manual gate at the top of the hill.  Once is inside there are an approximate total of only
