Olivenhain Encinitas

Olivenhain is an upscale, semi-rural community within the city of Encinitas. Featuring gently rolling hills, small ranches, and two-lane roads, Olivenhain provide residents with the feel of country living, while still remaining within easy reach of a wide range of amenities, attractions, and San Diego beaches.

Olivenhain includes everything from modest homes, to large country estates and horse properties, to multi-million dollar mansions. The majority of residences are custom-built and set on sprawling lots ranging in size from about half an acre to five acres. Although this North County community is not located on the beach, many homes enjoy ocean views.

Less exclusive and expensive than Rancho Santa Fe, Olivenhain retains a reputation for being highly coveted. Walking and riding trails meander through the neighborhood, and historic landmarks including the Olivenhain Meeting Hall, built in 1884 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, dot the landscape. The Hall is the meeting place for the non-profit Olivenhain Town Council and home to a number of community functions including the annual Oktoberfest, craft fairs, and the summer movie series.
