Buying a Home in Las Catalinas

Cars stay at the edge of the village, so the biggest choice in Las Catalinas is how you want to live: on a pedestrian street close to the beach, cafés and shops, or higher up the hillside with more space and wider ocean views. Walking time to the sand, privacy and outdoor space vary a lot between the two.

The town suits buyers who want a walkable, social place to live, whether full time or for part of the year. Ask about beach club access, association dues, rental rules and, for lots, the town's architectural guidelines, which are part of what gives Las Catalinas its look.
