La Costa Real Estate From a Hollywood Playground to a Family and Kids Haven!
You could never talk about La Costa with out discussing the La Costa Resort. Opened in 1965, it was truly a sight to behold. And it still is! With its California Mission Revival-style architecture, its original purpose was to function as a residential resort where, “every member of the family could play and live all year round in great style.” Yet, its secluded nature wound up attracting many celebrities from Los Angeles and beyond. Soon enough, world-famous entertainers like Charlton Heston, Bob Hope, and Johnny Carson would become regular guests at the La Costa Resort. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin of the renowned “Rat Pack” were among the resort’s most frequent celebrity visitors, who often played friendly matches on its tennis courts. Also many of America’s powerful political figures sojourned to the La Costa Resort as well, including former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and U.S. President Richard Nixon. Today the Resort is owned and managed by Omni and you may see more kids at the pool than celebrities. And from out of this Hollywood playground grew some of the most family friendly neighborhoods in all of San Diego! Check it out.
