About Del Mar
California's most exclusive small-town beach community.
Del Mar has fewer than 4,500 residents and one of the most powerful real estate markets in the state. Its mile-long beach, the iconic Racetrack, and a walkable Village lined with acclaimed restaurants draw buyers who want genuine community character alongside serious property values. Resistance to dense development keeps supply perpetually tight.
