Sunset Beach offers homes walkable to the ocean and panoramic views
Make the beach your backyard with a home in Sunset Beach. This stretch in the City of Huntington Beach is surrounded by water, so virtually all of its homes are footsteps from the ocean. “Residents and visitors in Sunset Beach enjoy the oceanfront location and especially the sunset views,” says Cheryl DeMarco, architect and real estate professional with ERA Donahue Realty. “Sunset Beach offers about 1.5 miles of beachfront and sand for everyone to take advantage of. They love Sunset Beach for surfing, body surfing, kitesurfing, playing volleyball, and just strolling on the beach." This beachside community isn’t just a retreat. Rather, Sunset Beach is home for so many.

Sunset Beach, Linear Park and more outdoor recreation
The sandy beachfront Sunset Beach residents have at their disposal is one of the widest beaches in all of Southern California. Public restrooms and outdoor showers make residents’ jaunts to the beach more comfortable and those who choose to drive can find free parking in a nearby lot. Anglers can bring a rod and reel along to fish off of Huntington Beach Pier.Residents aren’t confined to the beach when looking to enjoy some time outside. Linear Park here parallels the beach and is a place to go for a walk or a bike ride, or to take the kids to the playground near its edge. Those looking for a hike can hit the trails that unfurl from the Bolsa Chica Conservancy’s Interpretive Center, a facility full of exhibits about the area’s 1,300-acre Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, a coastal estuary.

Single-family homes, condos and townhouses in Sunset Beach
The housing inventory in Sunset Beach features a mix of single-family homes, duplexes, condos and townhomes. Square footages vary quite a bit, from just under 500 square feet for a one-bedroom condo to more than 6,000 square feet for a five-bedroom single-family home. Homes in Sunset Beach were built close to each other, on a neat network of residential blocks. Properties here sacrifice proximity to the beach for lot size — most lots here are less than 7,000 square feet and many are well less. Sunset Beach’s grid of streets is walkable thanks to sidewalks. Main streets here are lined with palm trees, too. Price tags in Sunset Beach reflect the diverse array of options here. “Condominiums start at $550,000 and homes range from $1.7 million to $13.8 million,” DeMarco says. “Location to the ocean and age of the construction affect prices. So, you will see a wide range of pricing in this area.”There are some properties in Sunset Beach that date back to the early 20th century, and it’s not uncommon to see these demolished to make way for new development. “I am an architect and realtor and know that in Sunset Beach, the value is in the land,” DeMarco says. “If there is an older property, investors and builders look at rebuilding to maximize the potential of the property. You will see older properties being knocked down and rebuilt.” This is a place where people plant roots, too, full of year-round residents who enjoy the location and weather, DeMarco says, as opposed to vacationers.
