Downtown Huntington Beach

The neighborhood's combination of beachfront access, dining, nightlife, boutique retail, and a genuine surf culture creates a lifestyle that is uniquely Huntington Beach. Homes here range from beach cottages and bungalows to newer luxury condominiums and townhomes, all within walking distance of the sand.
