CORONADO

Rich in history, natural beauty and a charming ocean village atmosphere, Coronado is most deserving of its royal nickname, the Crown City. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean, Glorietta Bay and San Diego Bay, this picturesque seaside city is linked to the Southern California coastline and the city of San Diego by the graceful and stately San Diego - Coronado Bridge, and to the south by a narrow strip of land known as the Silver Strand. This uniquely enchanting city, which measures only 14 square miles, is home to some of the world's most pristine beaches, 22 public parks, an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, and recreational facilities which include a public pool and dedicated bicycle paths. The careful approach to planned development lends stability to the quality of both the residential lifestyle and the business community. Quiet tree lined streets and friendly neighborhoods provide a collection of architectural home styles from Victorian cottages to modern mansions in this uniquely quaint island community. The recognized school systems offer a high caliber of educational standards with successful results, which is a positive influence on homebuyers considering the area. Coronado residents have carried on the tradition of the island with their dedication to maintaining a landmark community. This vibrant, thriving community welcomes more than 2 million visitors annually to soak up the sun and the sand while enjoying the lush surroundings and village appeal of Coronado. With 15 hotels, including amongst them three world class resorts, 1,792 hotel rooms, and 71 highly acclaimed restaurants, this island community boasts 29,229 residents as well as a flourishing tourist population. --Reprinted courtesy of the City of Coronado http://www.coronado.ca.us
