One Level

Single-Story Homes Near the Coast

Single-level, single-family homes in the coastal cities.

Single-story homes are getting harder to find near the coast. As older homes are rebuilt, most new homes go up to two or three stories, so a house with every room on one level becomes rarer every year.

This page gathers the single-family homes for sale that CRMLS lists as one level, highest price first, in each coastal city, updated throughout the day. Long Beach, with its mid-century ranch neighborhoods, usually has the most.

What to Know Before You Buy

  • Rebuilding a single-story home often means adding a second story; if one level matters to you, a home that is already right is worth more.
  • Ask whether the home has been expanded, and whether additions were permitted.
  • Single-story homes on large lots are a favorite of builders; expect competition.
  • Look at entries, hallways and showers if step-free access matters.

Questions
