Encinitas Real Estate
Encinitas was named for the oak trees that grew on the local hillsides
by
the Spanish that were traveling on the El Camino Real. Incorporated in
1986, the city of Encinitas now includes the areas of
Cardiff-by-the-Sea,
Olivenhain and Luecadia.
Encinitas was founded in 1881 when a gentleman named Jabez Pitcher
filed a
claim in the area along the railroad near the site of today's Civic
Center.
The area of Leucadia was founded by a group of Englishmen that settled
down
just a few miles north of where the railroad was. Cardiff-by-the-Sea
was
founded in 1875 when a family by the name of McKinnon built a homestead
on
the northern shore of the San Elijo Lagoon. Each area has its own
unique
features and characteristics and are all neighborhoods of the City of
Encinitas.
Encinitas is famous for its beaches. With six miles total to offer the
surfer and sun-worshipper alike; Swami's has the best waves, the
"Boneyard"
located at 4th and D streets is great for sunbathing "au natural",
while
Moonlight Beach is a great place for a family beach party or a walk
along
the water.
At one time, Encinitas was known as the "Flower Capitol of the World."
The
Ecke family is known for the development of the Poinsettia, which were
formally introduced to the market in 1923. Since that date, the Ecke
family
remains both an innovator in the cultivation of new varieties of
Poinsettias, as well as one of the largest suppliers of the traditional
holiday season plant. The beautiful Quail Botanical Garden offers one
of
the largest Bamboo collections in the country. Encinitas has a vibrant
downtown business district which features a variety of shops and
restaurants
which line historic route 101, the main thoroughfare of the city.
Inland
areas offer several modern shopping choices, several located along El
Camino
Real.
Encinitas is served by the North County Transit Authority Coaster
commuter
rail, and is located adjacent to I-5 approximately 22 miles north of
downtown San Diego.
