San Diego’s North County epitomizes the best of what Southern California living offers. With a beautiful climate and so many great activities, communities stretching along Coastal Highway 101 can be a great choice for homebuyers seeking to embrace North County’s beach lifestyle.
In the north coastal part of San Diego County, the naturally beautiful setting includes stunning beachfront views while the towns are often steeped in history. Mild year-round climate in these communities encourages residents to enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities. With 21 accessible public beaches, residents can enjoy surfing, sport fishing and whale watching or simply just soak up Southern California’s sunshine.
In addition to the pristine beaches it offers, San Diego’s North County also includes many of San Diego’s top attractions, from Del Mar Fairgrounds and its premiere horse racing to San Diego’s Botanic Gardens to the famous San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Other opportunities for activities abound for those who want to partake of recreation options so prevalent to the area. North County has more than 60 golf courses, giving residents plenty of places to hit the links. For those looking to soak up more than just sunshine, there are more than 20 live performance theaters and more than 100 movie screens available to take in a show.
Today’s homebuilders understand that an area offering the quintessential beach lifestyle should have homes that meet the needs of the people who choose to live there.
McCullough Design Development has been designing and building estate quality homes in San Diego for more than 20 years. Recognizing the draw of beautiful beaches and the lifestyle the area offers, MDD has expanded into the coastal market of the area as well, embracing the coastal beach town ambience and developing architecture that will embellish that laid-back lifestyle.
McCullough Design Development has been adjusting the look, layout and amenities of their Seascape development in Encinitas, specifically embracing the lifestyle and vibe of the area. This would include changing the overall design of the homes they build to a more soft modern/contemporary look, using more straight lines and earthy hues than the company’s estates farther east in Del Sur or Poway.
“Several of our designers were born or raised in beach communities like Encinitas,” explains Monty McCullough, lead designer and owner of MDD. “They live the beach lifestyle everyday. Who better to be the ones designing and building homes in these areas they know so well, to fit the lifestyle that they live?”
To embrace the beach lifestyle, the flow of the McCullough estate home will continue to focus on the great room including a kitchen, dining nook and family room, all of which open up to coastal breezes with access to the backyard In turn, these great rooms and backyards are designed to capture the ocean view while residents and their guests are comfortably seated and enjoying a beverage or a meal with family or friends.
With beautiful scenery and coastal breezes, homes in North County today are being built to help families embrace the lifestyle that makes living north of San Diego so appealing.
