Living in Encinitas Can Also Mean Working in Encinitas 

 

Aside from perfect beach days, and cozy family homes, living in Encinitas can offer some great job opportunities to those who don’t want to leave this little piece of paradise or brave the traffic on the 5 at rush hour. Living in Encinitas can also mean working in Encinitas. From bigger companies like Dudek (they have a few awesome office locations right in downtown Encinitas), to smaller local companies such as Nixon and Sun Bum – you can find a great company to collaborate with. Our town also has Scripps Hospital, The City of Encinitas, and 100s of local start ups and smaller companies.

Moonlight Beach, Cardiff, Pipes, Beacon’s, Grandview, Swami’s… and the list goes on!

 

I couldn’t go on about WHY living in Encinitas is so freak’n awesome without mentioning the sparkling ocean water, sandy coves, and miles of beaches that hug our town’s western boundaries. If you ask any Encinitas resident if they like the beach, they will say an enthusiastic YES! 99.9% of the time. Our lifestyles are very driven by the ocean. Whether loving beach runs, taking in the sunsets, or logging tons of water time on a surfboard, you could argue that our beaches and that culture can be found in every corner of the community. We have great organizations that drive us to take care of our precious beaches and oceans. If you are looking to get involved or do a beach clean up, check out The Rob Machado Foundation or Surfrider Foundation to get involved. 

 

We Love Living in Encinitas For The Surf Culture

 

Maybe we are biased because it is one of the main reasons we live here, but we love to surf!

 

We are addicted to having those surreal moments in the water, feeling the energy of the ocean, and enjoying the camaraderie of our surfing “tribe”. Encinitas does such a wonderful job of embracing the surf culture and sharing the stoke in our surf breaks and local surf centric shops. Lucky for us, living in Encinitas also means surfing in Encinitas, and that is priceless! Looking to gear up Or upgrade your equipment? Check out local shops like Patagonia Cardiff, Surfy Surfy, Bing Surfshop, and Hansen’s Surf Shop! 

 

Living in Encinitas means finding that perfect home. It is something in us to want to own a piece of paradise in this town of ours! From ocean front homes, to beach bungalows, and low-maintenance condos, there are many options for housing here in Encinitas. The topic of price point comes up a lot working with home buyers, but we have to admit, this place is pretty perfect and the cost benefits might outweigh the negatives when making a home purchase in Encinitas. That old saying of “you pay for what you get” really explains Encinitas’ costly housing market. We get a lot when living here.

If you want to look for homes take a look and have fun searching for your next local home HERE.
