Olde Del Mar: A Delightful Coastal Village
The heart of the City of Del Mar, sometimes called Del Mar Village, Olde Del Mar includes hillside properties gazing down on the ocean, trendy restaurants, hotels, and shops along Camino Del Mar, duplexes and townhomes near Stratford Court, and homes near and on the bluff looking out over the ocean, as well as Sea Grove and Powerhouse Parks.
A Brief History of Olde Del Mar
Development of Del Mar began in 1885 when the railroad arrived with developers eager to exploit its perfect weather and coastline. Cottages on 11th-15th street and the original Stratford Inn attracted wealthy Southern Californians.
Legend has it that the curvy streets on the hillside were laid out by letting horses pulling wagons leaving a trail of flour determine the best way to get up the hill. The Racetrack was built in 1936 and attracted Hollywood celebrities like Bing Crosby who stayed in the beach cottages and the re-built Stratford Inn and financed development of the downtown.
The City of Del Mar was incorporated in 1959. Resistance to overdevelopment started in the 60's and solidified Del Mar's emphasis on retaining its village character, low density housing with lots of trees, and a pedestrian-oriented downtown.
