Sand Castle Estates

Sand Castle Estates is a compact gated community of about 35 single-family homes in the Seacliff area of Huntington Beach, built in 1978 by Sand Dollar Development. It sits off Palm Avenue on Presidente Drive and Presidio Drive, south of the Huntington Club golf course, with a single gated entry and sidewalks throughout. It's walkable to Main Street, Seacliff Plaza, and the beach, and some homes have ocean views.

The homes are traditional single-family residences, all with three-car garages, across a handful of floor plans: roughly a 3-bedroom near 2,362 square feet, a 4-bedroom near 2,664, a larger 4-bedroom near 2,814, and a 5-bedroom near 3,100, plus a custom home. It's a self-contained neighborhood with its own HOA, not part of the larger Seacliff associations.

Ratowsky Group reads a Sand Castle Estates home on its plan, lot, and view, and pulls comparables from within this small community, where inventory turns over slowly.

The HOA covers the gate, the private streets, and the landscaped common areas. Published dues are modest but vary by source (one phrases it as a quarterly figure), so confirm the current amount and coverage against the association documents for the specific home. One naming note: Sand Castle Estates on Presidente and Presidio is distinct from a separate Sandcastle Lane address in the same zip code, so confirm the street and tract.

School assignment isn't consistent across sources, with different elementary and middle schools cited, so it should be verified at the specific address with the Huntington Beach City and Union High districts rather than assumed. For pricing, the community is small and tightly held, so a current comparable-sales review within Sand Castle Estates is the right tool.
