When it comes to Sharp Park, which side of Highway 1 you live on matters. West Sharp Park puts Sharp Park Beach, the Pacifica Pier, the Beach Boulevard Promenade, and Downtown shops, restaurants, and local spots along Palmetto Avenue all close by.
When you cross Highway 1 into East Sharp Park, the vibe changes. It’s more residential, stretching from the flatter streets near the highway into the hills above town, where some of Pacifica’s newest custom ocean-view homes are being built.
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.

West Sharp Park ranges from original ranchers to expansive custom-built oceanfront homes. Much of the neighborhood sits on flatter streets where the ocean is close enough to smell the salt air.
East Sharp Park is a different story altogether. As the neighborhood climbs into the hills, topography, elevation, and orientation become increasingly important. The right combination can open up sweeping ocean views, and some of Pacifica’s newest custom homes are being built along these upper streets.
