Downtown meets the beach at ViewPointe in Oceanside An outdoor OCEANSIDE — Making the choice to either live downtown or by the beach is the dilemma most San Diegans face. Now you can have the best of both worlds. The ViewPointe in Oceanside is a collection of 33 two- and three-bedroom townhome-style condominiums and penthouses, all featuring private roof decks with gorgeous views. “It’s downtown meets the beach,” said Jen Trafficanda, the sales and project manager for ViewPointe. “You have action and fun places to walk to. It’s beachy, but not too sleepy.” Each building has four floors and all five of the penthouse homes are already sold. The first res-
idents moved in in February. The walkability factor makes it ideal for just about everyone. “The homes went so fast,” Trafficanda said. “There isn’t anything under $1 million like this if you want to get west of I-5 and west of 101.” The ViewPointe is within a few blocks from both the beach and the pier. Residents can walk to the farmers market, visit the Oceanside Museum of Art, easily access the Coaster and enjoy craft breweries and family-friendly restaurants. All of the homes have open floor plans as well as balconies. The three-bedroom residences have a

An ideal place to start your pre-holiday shopping
While all homeowners may wish they had unlimited resources to make upgrades, most people need to prioritize a bit due to time and money. For many these days, the goal is extending living and entertaining areas outdoors: 56 percent of homeowners are making updates to improve their yards for entertaining, according to a Houzz Landscaping Trends study. To that end, the number one design element in outdoor renovations is a fire feature. This could be because outdoor fireplaces extend the season by adding warmth, provide a visual focal point around which to gather, and offer an opportunity to personalize the space. And if you are looking for a great return on investment, this addition can be beneficial when it’s time to sell: an outdoor fireplace can increase a home’s value up to $3,500, according to the Marshall & Swift Residential Cost Handbook.
