Del Mar Reviews
Rating 4.35 out of 5 17 reviews
I've lived in north county San Diego for years and am ready to leave. Del Mar is a beautiful place by the ocean. I enjoy its natural beauty. But the people here are awful. Controlling, manipulative, narcissistic, and entitled. Every single person I met in Del Mar was like this. I can't stand the people, but it's a beautiful place. I just don't want to pay a lot of $ to live here if the people are gross. And it's crowded. So many people have moved to this area and the quality of life isn't what used used to be. I'm so ready to leave.
Very nice area, very safe. Good schools and houses. Pretty expensive cost of living. Safe area to grow up in/raise kids, but a little sheltered. People can be close-minded.
Quite and clean, this is a wonderful area with great beaches, nature preserves, and seasonal festivals. With the Del Mar racetrack in swing there is always things to do around town. Great food and fair for everyone!
