Dana Point is one of Orange County's oldest cities located along the coast of southern California. Dana Point was once known for having large surf, nicknaming the city 'Killer Dana' by surfers in the 1970s. Now there is a beautiful harbor where the large waves used to crash, enjoyed throughout the year by residents. Dana Point is now known for having a boat harbor and exceptional state parks like Doheny State Park which is located on the coast. The area of Monarch Beach in Dana Point has extraordinary ocean view residences and impeccably crafted luxury homes that offer amenity-rich, resort-style living. The area is also known for having world-renowned hotels like The Monarch Beach Resort and The Ritz Carlton. The city is characterized by nearly seven miles of prominent coastal bluffs and rolling hills along the Pacific Ocean. The most noteworthy of these bluffs is a promontory known as the “Headlands” which overlooks Dana Point Harbor. Recently that area has been developed into a luxury home community named The Strand At Headlands with homes ranging into the multi million range. The city is a great option for home buyers looking for a coastal community in southern California that won't cost them an arm and a leg. Dana Point and San Clemente are both considered to be the cheaper coastal cities in Orange County to buy a home. Below are all the homes currently for sale in Dana Point.
