With real estate prices increasing in the beach communities it's getting much harder to find condos for under $400,000 in Dana Point, California.  There are still some viable good options available in this price point for 4 condo communities that we can recommend.  It seems like it was only a couple of years ago that many of these same condos were priced in the $300,000 range, a true showing of the appreciation values here in Orange County.  Here is our guide to condos in this price range.

The very first place I always recommend when I learn someone is looking for a property under $500,000 is the Ritz Pointe gated community.  It's really hard to get much better in this price point with several amenities that make it more desirable then the rest on this

We are currently working with one real estate buyer who is looking to purchase a condo in the Dana Point area.  His price range is under $600,000 and wants to know what options he has available to him.  This time of the year listings are still hard to come by as most seller's tend to not list their homes during the holidays.  As we get closer to February the inventory of condos available will increase and he will have more options to choose from.  These are the condo buildings that we explained to him will have the best opportunities.

First, our go-to condo building when someone is looking in the $400,000 to $500,000 range are the units located in the gated Ritz Pointe community known as "Monarch Hills" condos.  These are probably the best value when

We had a client who called us today looking for a one story property that would be wheelchair accessible with no steps.  This was quite the challenge since his price range only went up to $600,000 which pretty much excludes all single family homes in Dana Point since most houses start at around $600,000 and up.  Upon sifting through the many listings currently on the market we came across a condo located in the Monarch Hills condo complex that was located on the first level with no steps into the unit.  The Monarch Hills Condo complex is located in the upscale Ritz Pointe gated community in the Monarch Beach area of Dana Point.  This is a large community with condos located on the first, second and third level of multiple buildings.  Obviously, the second

We just got a call into our office today for a client looking to buy a condo in the Dana Point area for $600,000.  They wanted to know the best options when for condos under this price point and if any of these were located in the town center area.  Condos located in the downtown area in this price point is very difficult and typically will be smaller one or two bedrooms units located in buildings like the Pacific Terrace and the Bluffside Villas condo complex.  Currently there is no inventory in these complex's and here is what is currently available for sale.

The Niguel Beach Terrace is a condo building located in the Monarch Beach area of Dana Point.  This complex is not located in the downtown area but offers a very beach close location with quick

Monarch Beach has many condo complex's that offer affordable options when looking in this very expensive area of Dana Point.  One of my all time favorite condo complex's in Monarch Beach is the "Tennis Villas."  These are luxury condos located on one single level.  Condos located on the lower level will have a nice patio area while upstairs units have a generous size view deck.  The last condo I sold in this complex had this view of the St. Regis hotel as pictured below.  My client loved the trickling sound of the fountain out front and used the 5 star amenities at the hotel including the day spa, restaurants and walking paths to the beach!  The community is gated with a manual control and features a nice community pool for residents to use.  Many of the

Monarch Hills Ocean View condos are some of the most affordable ocean view properties to be found in the Dana Point community.  For those not familiar with Dana Point, Monarch Hills is a condo community that is located a very short distance to the beach and located within a luxury gated community called Ritz Pointe.  The condos has walking trails that go through the Monarch Beach golf links adjacent to the St Regis Hotel and connects to the beach through an underground tunnel.  The community itself has 36 four story buildings that offer both ocean and valley views.  If privacy is a concern for you then these condos may not be the best fit as they are located very close to each other.  The benefit is the ability to live in a prime location for prices well
