The Oceanside homes area covers about 42 square miles and has about 4 miles of shoreline and great beaches. This long shoreline allows for some great Oceanside ocean view homes and some Oceanside whitewater view homes. Oceanside is the classic California beach community with its warm sandy beaches, wooden pier and Cape Cod style harbor village. It is located on the Pacific Ocean about 38 miles north of downtown San Diego and about 85 miles south of La. It is just south of Camp Penelton Marine Base, the largest and busiest base in the United States. The population of Oceanside exceeds 178,000 including our military that live in off base housing. Gary Harmon is proud to find Oceanside starter homes for our military heroes, see Camp Pendleton Off-Base Housing.
