Each neighborhood in Dana Point has a distinct vibe and feeling, so it depends on what you’re looking for. The Lantern District would be good if you’re looking for no HOA’s, walkable to downtown shopping, and has a classic Dana Point feel. Capistrano Beach (Capo Beach) might work if you want that same classic Dana Point feel, but a little more separated from the rest of the city. Monarch Beach would be a good fit if you’re looking for upscale luxury near the water. Dana Hills/Del Obispo is the more master-planned suburban communities are in Dana Point.

Downtown Dana Point is located in the Lantern District neighborhood. Along Pacific Coast Highway & Del Prado you’ll find numerous shops, restaurants, and things to do. Keep in mind, while the homes in the Lantern District are closest to downtown Dana Point, Dana Point is a hilly city so walking to and from these places could be a bit of work!
