Dan Dennison
Master Realtor
Ocean Beach has a character all its own — beach cottages, a walkable village, and buyers who fall in love fast. I’m Dan Dennison, a San Diego Realtor and former Naval Officer with 40+ years of experience, and I help OB buyers and sellers price correctly and negotiate with confidence in one of the city’s most competitive coastal markets.

Ocean Beach is a laid-back coastal neighborhood in ZIP code 92107, just north of Point Loma, known for the Ocean Beach Pier, Newport Avenue, Dog Beach, and Sunset Cliffs. Housing includes early 20th-century beach cottages, mid-century homes, small multi-unit properties, and condos, many on compact lots close to the sand.
Value in OB depends on distance to the water, views, parking, lot size, and whether a property has rental income or ADU potential. The 30-foot coastal height limit and coastal-zone permitting also shape what you can build or remodel. I price and negotiate street by street, and because Naval Base Point Loma is minutes away, I also help many military families buy and sell here.
Whether you are buying your first home in Ocean Beach, selling a longtime property, or relocating, you work directly with me from the first conversation through closing.
Early access to new and coming-soon listings, value analysis on beach proximity and views, and offer strategy for OB's fast-moving, low-inventory market.
Pricing from true OB comparables, preparation that highlights outdoor space and location, and marketing to owner-occupants and investors alike.

Sale price
Ocean Beach appeals to buyers who want a walkable beach lifestyle, with the pier, Dog Beach, Newport Avenue shops, and Sunset Cliffs close by. Limited inventory and a coastal location have historically supported demand, though homes are often older and lots compact, so careful inspections matter.
Ocean Beach is in ZIP code 92107, which it shares with parts of Point Loma, including Point Loma Heights and the Sunset Cliffs area.
Ocean Beach has early 1900s beach cottages, mid-century single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings, and condos. Many properties sit on smaller lots, and some include or could add accessory dwelling units.
Many Ocean Beach lots can support an accessory dwelling unit under California and San Diego rules, but the 30-foot coastal height limit, coastal development permits, parking, and setbacks all apply. Check feasibility with the City of San Diego or a designer before you buy.
Yes. Ocean Beach is minutes from Naval Base Point Loma and a reasonable drive to other San Diego installations. As a Navy veteran and Military Relocation Professional, I help service members use VA loans and time moves around PCS orders.
