A cozy neighborhood 5 miles from the beachfront
Spanish for "behold the coast," the Mira Costa residential community offers a comfortable pace that's removed from the beachfront buzz, though the sparkling ocean expanse is just 5 miles west. Mira Costa is just a few miles from Downtown Oceanside and Buccaneer Beach. Locals can bike to a country club and a longstanding college situated on a hill within the neighborhood. According to Brian Thornton of Thornton Realty, a Realtor who's been selling homes in the area for decades, "The neighborhood offers a lot of different types of housing, with HOAs, so you don't have any haphazard development; it's all very harmonized. Some streets are completely private, others are public. And there's a gated senior community, as well as a gated condo project near MiraCosta College."
Mira Costa offers wonderful ocean views within its cozy residential layout in Mira Costa.

An array of housing options in Mira Costa
Mira Costa properties have build years spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s. Some streets have ranch styles with pastel stucco and siding. Others feature large two-story homes built in the 1980s with Spanish clay tile roofs and mature fruit trees. Smaller houses and attached homes are found in the 55-and-better community of Costa Serena. Many midcentury styles are nicely maintained or remodeled, and some residences border community parks. There are also lightly colored Mediterranean styles built in the 1990s. Prices range from $425,000 for a condo to $1.3 million for an upgraded pool home with golf course views.

The Country Club offers memberships that provide access to an 18-hole championship golf course, dining facilities, a fitness center and a swimming pool. Residents also walk, bike or drive to Palisades Park to jog the paved loop or enjoy the playground. Here, neighbors walk their dogs or relax on the lawn. Locals find more outdoor recreation at Joe Sepulveda Park.

Several retail hubs and dining options to choose from
When heading out to eat, hungry patrons find several cuisine styles in the North County Place shopping mall, including popular seafood specialties and Cadillac margaritas at Anita's Mexican Restaurant — a neighborhood staple since 1973. Residents meet for cocktails at the thatch-roof bar inside Teri Café, serving Japanese ramen and sushi. At Enzo's BBQ Ale House, visitors can order from the Italian or barbecue menus. Sports lovers gather at Rookies Sports Bar in Mira Costa to enjoy a selection of more than 30 beers on tap. Just outside Mira Costa proper are grocery shopping and retail options from Von's and Trader Joe's to Target. Shoppers also head to the Shoppes at Carlsbad, less than 5 miles south.

Home to MiraCosta College
On the western side of the community, Mira Costa College serves more than 20,000 students. Thornton adds, "It's a real advantage living in Mira Costa to be able to bike or walk to the college. A lot of the students there transition to UC San Diego or San Diego State University. And while it's a suburban area around the campus, you can still head to the beach to surf or go the Farmers Market in Oceanside. It's a great area that's close to the ocean breezes, but you don't get that San Diego fog. It's the best of both worlds, really."
