The St. Malo tradition of quality homes in the Oceanside, California area continues to this day as three premier gated communities fall under the St. Malo name. St. Malo Village, St. Malo Heights and St. Malo Beach are three exclusive communities that can be found in the South Oceanside area and are built in the wonderful and charming French Normandy architectural style. The community located directly on the beach is the Saint Malo Beach neighborhood which sits next to the ocean and nearby lagoon.
Oceanside is a very unique beach town in North San Diego county as real estate prices have never reached the extreme highs that one would find in luxury beach communities like La Jolla and Del Mar. For the most part, Oceanside beach front homes are almost always priced under the $3.5 million dollar range and can be found in the South Oceanside area. This is a stark comparison to beach front homes in La Jolla that can easily be priced over the $10 million dollar price point.
What makes the St. Malo Beach community so desirable is the exclusivity of a guard gated entrance in an area where homes have no gated entrances. This is a small pocket where tourists are not allowed to pass through and only residents get to enjoy the community amenities like the neighborhood tennis courts and private beach access. The neighborhood is a mixture of homes on the sand and homes located one or two blocks away. Since there is a very limited number of homes in this community beach front homes rarely come on the market. Currently there is one home listed for sale in St. Malo and priced at $2,200,000. For those looking for the very best neighborhood that Oceanside has to offer then St. Malo is sure to please.
