Del Mar's earliest surviving houses date to the early 1900s, when the South Coast Land Company built Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes along with about a dozen commercial buildings. ## What Del Mar does to a home appliance. The city incorporated in 1959 specifically to block high-rise development and preserve its small-town scale, a rule that still shapes what can be built today. Railroad tracks run along the coastal bluffs about 40 feet above the beach for 1.7 miles, and those bluffs are prone to collapse; crews drove steel beams into the bluff base in 2020 to stabilize the face for the next two to three decades. As of the 2020 census, 57.4 percent of the city's occupied housing units were owner-occupied and the rest renter-occupied, reflecting a heavy vacation-home and rental presence in the housing mix.
