[quote=profhoff]I also think you are right, sdrealtor, that as the masses come and discover the unique charms of Encinitas, they’ll buy what they can afford to buy to grab a little piece of the magic.
The I-5 won’t have the same connotation to them that it does to locals and I think the “wrong side of the tracks” perception will largely fade away.
Also agree that the “barefoot luxury” the new Alila Marea Beach Resort represents will be a real game changer for Leucadia, in particular.
We are on the same page. It’s not just Encinitas. The NCC from Del Mar through Carlsbad is all very special and in this same trajectory IMO. That new resort will attract Hollywood elite, pro athletes, corporate execs and billionaires will be guests at this place with their families. SD is a world class destination and this resort will represent the single best beach resort here. I think it’s gonna be a home run for the area despite local old time opposition. It’s funny that the Sea Bluffe folks view it as a threat. It could triple their property values over the next twenty years if not sooner
Congrats on your new home and glad to hear your heels are dug in
