Dana Point Overview

Nestled in southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego, Dana Point is a picturesque harbor town, a place ideal for those who love the environment of Southern California but hate the big city rush of its larger cities. This community of just over 33,000 residents is the perfect home for those who want a more relaxed atmosphere but also with relatively close access to more urban areas. Here, the beach is down the street while Los Angeles and Anaheim are little more than an hour away. So if that type of coastal living and close city access is up your alley, then now is a great idea to look at apartments in Dana Point, CA.

Why live in Dana Point, CA?

If you're tired of living in the city and want to be closer to the beaches, then Dana Point is the perfect city for you. While this isn't the smallest of town, it's small enough to commonly see neighbors out and about and large enough to enjoy an array of shops and restaurants.
