The Oceana Communities-
The Oceana communities are economical places to live and enjoy life throughout your active retirement years and they are also wonderful places to entertain guests and grandchildren.
Oceana as a whole may best be described as a village of five separate active adult communities. They were built over the 22-year period from 1964 to 1986. They contain a total of more than 2000 well-maintained homes ranging in size from approximately 650 to 1660 sq. ft.
One community (Oceana Real), is a 3-story condominium complex. The other communities contain mostly single-story, attached homes. Two communities also contain detached homes. Oceana's communities are all well-maintained and their grounds are attractively landscaped. Some of their homes have been modernize and updated and the resulting transformation, in some cases, is truly amazing. One advantage of mature Active Adult Senior Communities like Oceana is that their residents are active adults and retirees of all ages; from age 55 to some who are in their 90's. This makes it easier to meet people in an age group with interests similar to yours.
All of the Oceana communities are located in the city of Oceanside, California, approximately 4 to 6 miles from the Pacific coast. This close proximity to the coast, with its nearly constant ocean-influenced temperature and coastal breezes produces a very comfortable year-round climate that, when Climate Comparisons are made, ranks among the best climates in the U.S.

Oceana is a village of five Senior Communities. All with very moderate climates due to their locations being 4 to 6 miles from the coast.

Oceana's communities offer many economical and attractive home choices. One community is a 3-story condominium; the others consist of 1-story homes on attractively landscaped grounds. Some have beautiful views as shown in the photo above.
