Welcome to Del Mar

Glamorous coastal village, home of Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Del Mar is a beachfront community known for its affluent coastal living, white sandy beaches, nearby hiking at Torrey Pines State Reserve, and the famous Del Mar Racetrack.

It combines a great climate and beautiful setting with the class and glamour of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Del Mar’s development began in the late-1880s, when Colonel Jacob Taylor constructed its first resort. Taylor’s resort unfortunately burned down soon after, but Del Mar rose to prominence in the 1930’s when the Del Mar Fairgrounds were chosen to host the San Diego County Fair. Hollywood stars flocked to visit this enchanting seaside village, where the County Fair remains a major annual attraction..

Famed for its grand resorts, Del Mar real estate is just as luxurious as the location would suggest. From Tudor-style country estates to majestic oceanfront masterpieces and charming beach houses, each of Del Mar's properties is unique and immensely desirable.
