Outdoor activities are always popular in San Diego, especially surfing and skating. The warm weather and miles of coastline attract some of the best surfers in the nation, including Rob Machado and Taylor Knox. Many of the major companies in the surf industry also make their homes here.

Downtown San Diego offers some very exciting night life, art galleries, boutiques and trendy clubs and lounges. High-rise condos and funky lofts are for sale for the progressive buyer. If real estate in classic luxury communities suits your tastes, check out Mission Hills or La Jolla.
