Homes for Sale in
Dana Point, CA

Where the Pacific meets the harbor. Coastal estates, oceanfront condos, and the resort lifestyle anchored by Monarch Beach and the Ritz-Carlton bluff.

Market Overview

The Pacific premium: Dana Point values.

Dana Point's coastal scarcity — paired with resort-anchored neighborhoods and a $600M harbor revitalization — has made the city one of South OC's most resilient luxury markets.

YoY Change

Distinct submarkets define Dana Point — the gated Monarch Beach and Monarch Bay enclaves, the historic Lantern District, the cliffside estates of The Strand, and Beach Road's private coastline. Each carries its own price profile and buyer demographic.

Inventory of true oceanfront and bluff-top homes remains limited, supporting strong appreciation in the upper tier. Buyers come from across the U.S. and Asia-Pacific drawn by the harbor lifestyle, surf heritage, and the Ritz-Carlton / Waldorf Astoria resort environment.
