Point Loma

Point Loma, A Diverse Bayside Neighborhood:

What a paradise found when Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the first European set foot on Point Loma in 1542. Now marked by the Cabrillo National Monument and Lighthouse at the outer point of the peninsula of Point Loma with gorgeous coastline and open sea views to Mexico, the San Diego skyline, wrapping northward to San Clemente Island, Cataline and Dana Point, Point Loma is a unique area and presents a myriad of real estate opportunities.

As avid boaters, surfers and fishermen, we at Noonan & Associates especially love this waterman's paradise with its historic waterfront homes with ultra-rare, grandfathered boat docks on the bay, the "Wooded Area" neighborhood atop the hill with late 19th century residences, stunning skyline and bay views and lush gardens, the intimate La Playa Beach facing Shelter Island's marinas with endless opportunities for stand-up paddling and other water sports, the San Diego Yacht Club, (longtime home of the America's Cup, courtesy of Dennis Connor,) and even our teams' favorite world class surfer's spot reachable only by boat: "Ralph's Break." The Sunset Cliffs neighborhood on the Pacific side of the Point Loma peninsula, bordered at the south by Ocean Beach, enjoys geography including beautiful rugged cliffs and beaches, surfer's spots, and homes overlooking the sea and coastline. Greg proposed to Marilyn in Sunset Cliffs, on a beach overlooking the coastline to La Jolla-- an event they celebrate each year.

Point Loma real estate is as captivating for its vibrant Shelter Island marine surroundings as for spectacular hillside homes with breathtaking views to the San Diego Bay and city skyline, overlooking the comings and goings of US Navy aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, cruise ships, barges, racing sail yachts, and watercraft of all kinds as the exit San Diego Bay to enter open ocean. Luxurious and historic waterfront estates, charming Spanish Revival bungalows, and modern condominiums can all be found in Point Loma real estate as well as the newer Liberty Station neighborhood, former Marine Corp Recruiting Depot which offers fantastic restaurants, shops and entertainment.
