DESCRIPTION

Niguel Shores is renowned for its idyllic coastal lifestyle, resort-like amenities, and a prime location just steps from Salt Creek Beach. This private, guard-gated community boasts a mix of custom oceanfront estates, charming Cape Cod-style townhomes, and modern single-family residences, each designed to embrace Southern California’s indoor-outdoor living at its finest.

One of the defining features of this neighborhood is its diverse architectural landscape. Strolling through Niguel Shores, you’ll find:

  • Contemporary coastal homes with sleek lines, expansive glass windows, and open floor plans that maximize ocean views.
  • Classic California ranch-style residences that blend seamlessly with the relaxed beach vibe.
  • Mediterranean-inspired estates with red-tile roofs, arched entryways, and lush landscaping.
  • Cape Cod townhomes that evoke the charm of the East Coast while offering West Coast luxury.

Beyond its stunning homes, Niguel Shores is best known for its exclusive access to a private beach bluff overlooking the Pacific. Residents enjoy direct entry to one of Dana Point’s most picturesque shorelines, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling public beaches.

Living here means having access to top-tier amenities, including:

  • A resort-style clubhouse with ocean-view outdoor spaces.
  • Tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts.
  • A junior Olympic-size pool and spa.
  • Lush greenbelts and walking paths that wind through the community.

But what truly sets Niguel Shores apart is its community spirit. The neighborhood is known for its social events, from wine tastings and holiday gatherings to beachside barbecues and sunset parties. It’s the kind of place where neighbors become lifelong friends, and every day feels like a vacation.
