What the Locals Have to Say ...
Fun and lively town. Super close to the beach and great weather with nice people. Many things to do and explore including Del Mar downtown and the beaches.

I love the neighbourhood and our neighbours. The area is completely residential and full of greenery. Every morning I go for a jog in the adjacent park and can breathe fresh air. It's far away from the busy roads, so there in no noise pollution.
