Point Loma homes and neighborhood guide

Living in Point Loma

Point Loma is a long peninsula with many distinct pockets: La Playa and the bay side, the Wooded Area, Loma Portal, Roseville and Sunset Cliffs, among others. Shelter Island's marinas and Cabrillo National Monument, with its lighthouse and sweeping views, draw visitors from around the world.

Liberty Station, built on the former Naval Training Center, has become an arts, dining and shopping district with a large park and walking paths. Point Loma Nazarene University and the Naval Base Point Loma are part of the area, and Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery overlooks the bay from the point.

Homes you'll find

• Bay and ocean view homes: on the slopes and the ridge, from cottages to larger houses.
• Mid-century and Spanish style homes: in older neighborhoods such as Loma Portal and Roseville.
• Sunset Cliffs area homes: near the ocean cliffs, with dramatic sunset views.
• Condos and townhomes: including communities near Liberty Station and the bay.
• Homes near Shelter Island and the bay: with marina and water views.

Getting around and schools

Point Loma is served by San Diego Unified School District, with Point Loma High among its schools, and private schools also operate in the area. I can help you confirm the assigned schools for any address.

I-8, I-5 and Rosecrans Street connect the peninsula to the rest of the city, and the airport is just minutes away, which frequent travelers love.

Buying in Point Loma

Point Loma is one of San Diego’s most beautiful and established neighborhoods, with bay and ocean views, Shelter Island, Sunset Cliffs, Cabrillo National Monument and Liberty Station. Homes here are prized for their views and their sense of community, and they tend to hold their appeal.

Parts of Point Loma sit under the airport approach and departure paths, and how much you notice it varies block to block, so we will visit your favorite homes at a few different times. Bluff properties get a geotechnical review, and coastal rules apply near the ocean. Because views drive value, I help you compare homes within the same pocket of the peninsula so you can buy with confidence.

Selling in Point Loma

Point Loma buyers shop by the view and the pocket of the peninsula. We will capture the view in great light and place your home within its area. If the home is near a flight path, we will highlight features like upgraded windows and landscaping that make it comfortable.

Having permits for additions and any bluff or drainage information ready before listing keeps escrow smooth.
