Around Coronado

Coronado, beyond the house.

The neighbourhoods, the daily rhythm and the drive to everywhere else — the part of a home search a listing sheet never covers.

The neighbourhoods

Where Coronado actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Coronado Village

The historic core of the city, home to the Hotel del Coronado, which opened in 1888 and drove the peninsula's rapid growth as a resort destination.

Coronado Cays

A dredged waterfront marina community whose grand opening took place on September 13, 1969, with 1969-era home prices ranging from $49,000 to $74,900.

North Island

Site of Glenn Curtiss's 1911 seaplane experiments and Charles Lindbergh's 1927 departure for his transatlantic flight, now Naval Air Station North Island.

Coronado Shores

Ten 15-story condominium towers built between 1970 and 1978 on the former site of Tent City, with the first, Cabrillo Tower, completed in 1970.

Glorietta Bay

The sheltered bay bordering Coronado Shores and the Hotel del Coronado, offering views described as stretching from Point Loma to the San Diego skyline.

Silver Strand

The narrow sand tombolo connecting Coronado to Imperial Beach, the geographic feature that technically makes Coronado a peninsula rather than a true island.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Coronado, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at CAFE 1134, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Rotary Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Clayton's, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
