LINDA mAR

Living in Linda Mar

Linda Mar is one of Pacifica’s most desirable neighborhoods, anchored by Linda Mar Beach (officially Pacifica State Beach) on one side and the coastal hills of San Pedro Valley Park on the other. The neighborhood stretches inland from the beach through the Linda Mar Valley and into the surrounding hills. Surfing, hiking, beach days, neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, and everyday essentials are all close by.

Pacifica is known for its microclimates, and Linda Mar is one of the sunnier parts of town, with warmer temperatures and less fog than northern Pacifica. It’s one of those local differences that can be easy to miss when you’re looking at Pacifica on a map.

Linda Mar Homes

Most homes in Linda Mar are ranchers and elevated ranchers, ranging from original to fully remodeled. You’ll also find custom-built modern homes throughout the neighborhood.

Location within Linda Mar matters. The flatter streets closer to the beach offer a different setting than homes farther into the hills, where elevation and orientation can open up ocean and valley views.
