Charming Encinitas neighborhood with great surfing.
Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a cozy beach town nestled between Encinitas and Solana Beach. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and San Elijo Lagoon to the south, the beautiful scenery includes dramatic coastal bluffs and the two-mile San Elijo State Beach. Homes here enjoy awe-inspiring ocean views. ​​​​​​​Cardiff was founded by artist-turned-developer J. Frank Cullen in 1911, who named it after Wales’ capital city in honor of his Welsh wife. Cardiff is subdivided into two main residential areas: the Walking District, with streets named for towns in Cullen’s native Britain, and the Composer District, where the streets take their names from famous European composers. ​​​​​​​The 1911-built Craftsman beach cottage in which Cullen and his wife lived is typical of Cardiff’s charming real estate, which takes in everything from condominiums and townhomes to single-family homes and spectacular custom builds.
