The modern town of Solana Beach was first developed in the 1920s, following the creation of the Lake Hodges dam, a lake and reservoir that brought water to the area. A housing boom followed World War II, and in 1986 the city of Solana Beach was created. 

If you’re looking for a small town to move to then look into Solana Beach homes for sale. It’s a community where a farmer’s market shuts down the street each Sunday and new coffee shops and home-goods stores are popping up. It’s a laid-back, active community where the beaches, bike trails and gyms are packed in the morning, and the streets quiet after nightfall.

Who doesn’t want to live in a place where the residents are relaxed and friendly? The weather is a pretty consistent 60 degrees in the winter and 70 in the summer, thanks to the breezes blowing in off of the Pacific Ocean. Add in the walkable nature of the area, the things to do, and the laid back community, it’s obvious there are a lot of things to draw homeowners to Solana Beach.
