Niguel Shores-Garden Inland is the section of Niguel Shores located inland of Pacific Coast Highway. The Garden Homes were developed in phases, and the inland homes north of PCH began construction in 1972. Association records list 174 Garden Homes in the inland tracts.

The inland neighborhood includes Atlantic Drive and Atlantic Avenue, along with named bays and cul-de-sac streets. These homes are part of the larger Niguel Shores community in Dana Point, with shared amenities and association rules.

HOMES FOR SALE IN NIGUEL SHORES-GARDEN INLAND DANA POINT

The inland Garden Homes were designed as single-story residences. Original plans included different bedroom layouts, from two-bedroom homes with a den to three- and four-bedroom designs. Patios, yards, and other features vary by property, so check each listing for its specific layout and current condition.

The inland section is distinct from the Gardens on the ocean side of PCH. Both are part of Niguel Shores and share community amenities, including the community center, pool, courts, and bluff-top park. Review the applicable association materials for current rules and responsibilities.

HOW TO BUY A HOME IN NIGUEL SHORES-GARDEN INLAND DANA POINT

Start by reviewing current listings and comparing features that matter to you, such as bedroom count, den or flexible space, patio or yard, condition, and location within the inland section. Homes have been updated over time, so review each property’s details rather than assuming all homes share the same layout.

Before making an offer, arrange a showing and review the seller’s disclosures, inspection information, and available records for renovations. Review Niguel Shores association materials to understand current rules, assessments, and responsibilities.
