Buyers interested in acquiring waterfront homes in Solana Beach California have a number of options.  The Solana Beach real estate market is one of the more expensive, on average, of the coastal communities. Unlike Del Mar, to the south, and Oceanside further north, all of the Solana Beach waterfront homes are on the bluffs overlooking the ocean rather than at sea level, much like Encinitas and Carlsbad.  Buyers can choose from both attached (condos) and a few detached waterfront homes, depending on price range.
