EL GRANADA

This midcoast community lies in the deepest part of the “half moon bay”.  Originally eyed by developer Henry Doelger to become a resort town, it ended up being a sleepy village that is now finding its own to become a desirable and close knit community.  Doelger did manage to build one subdivision called Princeton-by-the-Sea (or Clipper Ridge) but the rest of his dreams never took hold here on the Coastside.

Lower El Granada
Tree swing in El Granada CAThis neighborhood sits at the hub of the “half moon” on the midcoast.  Highlights of this neighborhood are easy access to the beaches, especially Surfer’s Beach, Princeton Harbor, and “downtown” El Granada (the Hardware Store, Post Office and Police Station).  Originally a planned communtiy by developer Ray Doelger, it never took off once the railroad was abolished and access improved.  There is a mixture of older homes, cottages, contemporary and traditional styles and ranch style homes.  There are lovely views from many homes and there is a mixture of flat and sloped parcels.

El Granada Highlands
Driving through El Granada, as you look into the trees toward the east, you will see the hillside dotted with homes in the “highlands”.  Most homes are on sloped lots with 2 or 3 levels to maximize the views.  Many homes are large, custom-built, and unique.  With the hills come the views.

 Princeton-By-the-Sea or “Clipper Ridge”
Subdivision neighborhood on mostly level lots (a few sloped lots on the upper part of Coral Reef Rd) with a great central location, nearby hiking trails, and a neighborhood park including a basketball hoop for casual game.

Princeton and Pillar Point Harbor
The homes in this area are mixed in with commercial and industrial spaces.  There are also warehouses, lofts, a fitness center, and a few wholesale businesses.  Single family homes are few and far between.  There are many rentals in this area.
