Named for Richard Henry Dana who wrote Two Years Before the Mast,  Dana Point real estate stretches along a seven mile coast and somewhat inland into a the gently rolling hills.  Many homes have a view and all homes in Dana Point enjoy the salty ocean breezes and the sound of the foghorn in the Harbor.   

The earliest housing development in Dana Point centered around a hotel and bar that never was completed but some of the construction can still be seen from the Harbor.

The original plan for Dana Point Real Estate was an area of Spanish style homes and businesses with streets named after lanterns. Today, the town has many lantern streets including Golden Lantern, Ruby Lantern, Blue Lantern, to name a few.  The developer was wiped out in the crash of 1929 and the Dana Point real estate plan never got completed.

Today Dana point is somewhat of a stitched-together city made up by annexing parts of nearby cities such as Capistrano Beach and Laguna Niguel.  The Dana Point real estate market includes some very elegant luxury homes, condominiums and town homes with ocean and harbor views as well as many single-family homes with and without views.  For those interested in duplexes, triplexes and multifamily homes, Dana Point has much to offer.

Dana Point Harbor, originally used as all Orange County Harbors were, as a place where drug smugglers could come and go under the cover of fog, is now a thriving shopping, sailing and dining destination with a couple of Yacht Clubs.  A replica of the Pilgrim, Richard Dana’s ship is in the Harbor and takes visitors on cruises from time to time.  The Harbor is a magnet for residents and visitors alike and adds to the Dana Point real estate values.
