One-of-a-kind houses in Oceanside, CA
Set just south of Oceanside's sprawling coastline, the neighborhood of Fire Mountain rises from the hills. The origin of its name is shrouded in mystery, but legend has it that the Indigenous people of the region once used this spot to light signal fires, visible for miles around. “The biggest draw, aside from being so close to Harbor Beach, is the funky architecture," notes Danny Gibbel, Encinitas-based Realtor with Swell Property. "The houses here are like nothing else in the area. They pretty much all sit on large lots, and since the neighborhood isn't directly on the shore, they come with lower prices."
