Living in Coronado

Coronado is unlike anywhere else in San Diego — a small, tightly-knit island community connected to the mainland by the iconic Coronado Bridge. Its beach has been named the best in America by multiple publications, the historic Hotel del Coronado is a National Historic Landmark, and the village of Orange Avenue offers a charm that larger cities can't replicate.

Real estate in Coronado commands a premium, with a median home price around $2.1 million as of 2026. The housing stock ranges from historic Craftsman homes near the village to modern luxury estates along the Strand. Condos in the Coronado Shores towers offer oceanfront living with resort-style amenities, while single-family homes near the golf course provide a quieter, more residential setting.

Coronado has a strong military presence — Naval Air Station North Island is one of the largest aerospace-industrial complexes in the U.S., and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado is home to the Navy SEALs. This means VA loan purchases are common, and Scott Cheng's expertise as a VA loan specialist is particularly valuable for military families stationed here.

The lifestyle is village-centered: biking to the beach, walking to dinner on Orange Avenue, watching the sunset from the Hotel Del. Coronado Unified School District serves the island with excellent schools. Ferry service connects to downtown San Diego, and the bridge provides quick access to the I-5.

Scott Cheng helps buyers navigate Coronado's unique market dynamics — limited inventory, strong demand, and a community where relationships and reputation matter.
