With 1,632 Mediterranean-style homes centered around a private 18-hole executive golf course, OHCC offers an active lifestyle, resort-style amenities, and a welcoming community spirit.
Homes in Ocean Hills Country Club range from low-maintenance single-story residences to larger homes with golf course views, offering options for a variety of lifestyles and preferences. There are 17 unique floor plans ranging from ~900 TO 2,800 sq.ft. While every home reflects a Mediterranean village aesthetic, with white stucco exteriors and red tile roofs, no two homes are the same inside. Lot sizes and location also provide another level of variety.
If you’re exploring the community for the first time, you can browse the various floor plans here → Ocean Hills Country Club Floor Plans.
Most homes were built in the late 1980s, but you’d never know it – the HOA ensures excellent upkeep, including exterior painting, roof repairs, front yard maintenance, irrigations and landscaping. Each of the community’s eight villages has its own association, with monthly fees that vary slightly by location.

What It Feels Like to Live Here
Ocean Hills isn’t just about the homes or the amenities. It’s about how it feels to live here day to day—calm, connected, and just a little more spacious than life outside the gates.
There’s a moment on almost every tour we give where everything goes quiet.
People stop asking questions. They stop looking at details. And instead, they just look around.
You can see it happening—they’re imagining their life here.
Maybe it’s the way the light hits the golf course in the late afternoon, or the quiet rhythm of the neighborhood. Maybe it’s the feeling that things just seem… easier here.
There’s no one way to live here—and that’s part of what makes it so appealing.
