| The
earliest signs of the Dana Point real estate
market centered around a hotel and bar that never was
completed but some of the construction can still be seen
from the Harbor. The
original plan for Dana Point Real Estate was an area of
Spanish style homes and businesses with streets named
after lanterns. Today, the town has many lantern streets
including Golden Lantern, Ruby Lantern, Blue Lantern, to
name a few. The
developer was wiped out in the crash of 1929 and the
original Dana Point real estate plan never got
completed.
Today the
Dana Point real estate market reflects the somewhat of a
stitched-together nature of the city made up by annexing
parts of nearby cities such as Capistrano Beach and
Laguna Niguel. The
Dana Point real estate market includes some very elegant
luxury homes, condominiums and town homes with ocean and
harbor views as well as many single-family homes with
and without views.
For those interested in duplexes, triplexes and
multifamily homes, Dana Point real estate has much to
offer.
Dana
Point Harbor, originally used as all Orange County
Harbors were, as a place where drug smugglers could come
and go under the cover of fog, is now a thriving
shopping, sailing and dining destination with a couple
of Yacht Clubs. A
replica of the Pilgrim, Richard Dana’s ship is in the
Harbor and takes visitors on cruises from time to time.
The Harbor is a magnet for residents and visitors
alike and adds to the Dana Point real estate values.
