Oceana Apartment Homes
Located at 180 Canyon Drive in Oceanside, Oceana Apartment Homes consists of 100 units. Built in 1970, the 180,338-square-foot property offers easy access to main transit lines such as the I-5 and California State Route 76. The community is located in a tri-city area of the San Diego MSA that also includes Carlsbad and Vista.
The unit mix at the newly-renovated Oceana includes one- and two-bedroom apartments, some of which feature private backyard patios. Residents at the property have access to an amenity package that includes controlled access, on-site laundry facilities, a sundeck, barbecue and dining area, reserved gated parking, as well as a swimming pool.
Per-unit prices in the San Diego metro rose to an average of over $215,000 in 2015, nearly double the average national level, Yardi Matrix data shows. However, The Apartment Company paid substantially less for the tri-city area property.
