Why Live in Cardiff-by-the-Sea

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, a coastal neighborhood in Encinitas, offers a laid-back, surf-centric lifestyle about 20 miles north of San Diego. Known for its five local beaches, residents enjoy surfing at Swami’s Beach, exploring the San Elijo Lagoon, and tide pooling at Cardiff State Beach. The neighborhood is divided by Interstate 5, with streets named after UK cities, reflecting its historical roots. Home styles range from modern duplexes to 1940s ranch-style homes, many offering ocean views. Cardiff's Composer District features Craftsman and Spanish-style homes on winding streets named after famous composers. Local schools, including Cardiff Elementary, Ada W. Harris Elementary, Oak Crest Middle School, and La Costa Canyon High School, are highly rated. Cardiff has a few shopping and dining options, with Seaside Market and Restaurant Row being notable highlights. The neighborhood is also home to the Cardiff Farmers Market and various local retailers. For outdoor enthusiasts, the 979-acre San Elijo Lagoon offers hiking trails and bird-watching opportunities, while Cardiff State Beach is popular for surfing and swimming. The Coastal Rail Trail provides a scenic route for bikers and joggers. Cardiff is safer than the national average, and its proximity to Interstate 5 makes it convenient to reach nearby Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Downtown San Diego. Public transportation options include the MTS Blue Line bus and the COASTER commuter train. Despite some traffic noise from the freeway, Cardiff remains a charming and accessible coastal community.
