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 senior communities. They were built over the 22-year period from 1964 to 1986. They contain a total of more than 2000 well-kept 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 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 Senior Communities like Oceana is that their residents are retirees of all ages; from 55 to the 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. The Original Oceana community, built between 1964 and 1971, is the oldest and largest with 932 homes. It has a very nice community center with loads of senior activities. Please Visit-
Original Oceana Community Association website for more information.
