There's a great mix of lifestyles in the area, from posh apartments and trendy condos to single-family homes and exquisite mansions. The architecture is also unique and designed so exquisitely that people from all over come to check it out. A few of the most notable architectural styles include Victorian, Mission, modern, Mediterranean Revival, and American Craftsman. 

What to Love

  • Mix of urban and suburban gives residents the best of both worlds 
  • Majority of locals are young, bringing drive and excitement to the community

Local Lifestyle

Pacific Beach has some great spots to relax and enjoy the beautiful sights of nature alongside the nearby ocean, but it’s best known for getting the party started and keeping locals engaged and entertained. You can walk the nearby beaches—Tourmaline Beach, North Pacific Beach, and Pacific Beach—or scuba dive, snorkel, swim, and surf.

The local lifestyle of Pacific Beach is primarily the same for residents when the sun goes down. Everyone loves to gather with friends and family to meet up at the hottest spots for gaming, dining, shopping, live entertainment, and more. Pacific Beach has no shortage of activities and events for locals to engage and participate in. There's always something for everyone in this booming community. 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Locals have limitless options for shopping, with some right in town and several others just outside of it. Find hidden gems in the gift shops of Pangea Outpost and Buffalo Exchange, hit up the upscale brands in shopping centers like Fashion Valley, and shop at trendy boutiques like Bouluci and Rare Bloom Boutique.

Locals also go to Sandbox VR and Break Point for the best entertainment. Sandbox VR has all the interactive VR fun you can think of, while Break Point combines bowling, food, and drinks.
 
Nightlife aside, fine dining is a must in a luxurious town like Pacific Beach. When the night calls for something other than bar food, residents get together at Oceana Coastal Kitchen for the most exquisite sushi and seafood, then JRDN Restaurant the next day when breakfast and brunch deserve an extravagant occasion. 

Things to Do

Residents looking for things to do in their leisure time have ample spots to check out on any day of the week or weekend.

One popular place to visit is the Pacific Beach Boardwalk. Here, visitors can go for a walk, or traverse the boardwalk via bicycle or rollerblades.
