Coronado Real Estate: 5 Reasons Why It May Be the World’s Best

If you’ve ever been to Coronado, California you have a pretty good idea of what paradise looks like. Real estate experts always talk about “location, location, location” as the most important factor in determining the value of a property. Well, it’s the absolute truth — and it’s tough to find a better location than Coronado!

Here are 5 reasons why Coronado real estate may be the world’s best:

1. Perfect weather — Coronado, located just off the Southern California coast, enjoys the type of weather most people daydream about: warm sun, cool ocean breezes, just a few fluffy clouds, low-humidity, very infrequent rain, and a temperature that stays in the upper-60’s to low-70’s range all year long. As is the case in most cities on the Pacific coast, early mornings in Coronado can be chilly — but, once the fog burns off, you won’t want to go back inside until the sun goes down!

2. Beautiful beaches — Coronado’s beaches are consistently rated among the world’s best by travel guides, magazines, and television shows. In fact, the Travel Channel recently ranked Coronado’s beaches in the top-10 in the US, and number 1 in Southern California… which is saying A LOT when you consider the number of world-class beaches located between LA and San Diego. It’s no wonder that Coronado’s beach-front real estate is among the world’s most valuable!

3. Convenient Location — Coronado is located right next to one of the most vibrant and colorful cities in the world: San Diego. Often called an “island,” Coronado is actually a peninsula connected to the mainland by a strip of land called the Silver Strand. Physically, Coronado is only about a mile from downtown San Diego, giving its residents easy access to a huge variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, universities, professional sports, and all the other great benefits a major city provides. For even more fun and shopping, Baja Mexico is just a 15-minute drive to the south.

4. Small Town Atmosphere — Despite it’s close proximity to San Diego, Coronado has a truly unique and inviting “small town” atmosphere all its own. When you leave the city and cross the bridge to Coronado you really feel as though you’ve stepped into another world. You see wide tree-lined streets, elegant Victorian homes, charming Spanish-style cottages, beautifully manicured lawns, quaint, locally-owned shops and boutiques, clean air, nice, cheerful people… and many other things you won’t find much of in the city! It’s this safe, friendly atmosphere that is the real draw for many people looking for prized Coronado real estate.

5. True Romance — San Diego’s “enchanted island,” as Coronado is often called, is among the world’s most romantic locations. Whether its a picnic on the beach, a Sunday afternoon concert in the park, or an intimate dinner in the famous Hotel del Coronado, Coronado offers residents and visitors alike the perfect romantic getaway. There’s a reason why Coronado has been chosen as the number one wedding destination in America: you won’t find a more magical place in such an exquisite setting anywhere in the world!

As you can see, Coronado definitely deserves its world-class reputation. It’s a truly special place that provides the perfect setting in which to live the “good life.” Buying Coronado real estate is a can’t-go-wrong investment anyone with the means and wherewithal should consider making!

Now here are ten useful tips of advice from a personal injury lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a personal injury in Coronado, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learning how we can assist you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good personal injury lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good personal injury lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good personal injury lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most personal injury attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

 

If you’ve had a personal injury in Coronado, Lemon Grove, Imperial Beach, Mission Valley, National City, Spring Valley, San Diego, La Mesa, Carlsbad, Oceanside, La Jolla, Del Mar, Escondido, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Vista, San Marcos, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your San Diego Personal Injury Lawyer and your Coronado Personal Injury Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.

 

If you have a personal injury legal matter, a dog bite or if you’ve lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson, or visit our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learn how we can assist you.

Let’s Visit Coronado Island In San Diego

Everyone in California knows that the best beaches in San Diego are on Coronado Island. Being linked to downtown San Diego by the Island Bay Bridge, Coronado is home to the SEALs training center and the Naval Air Station Coronado. A military powerhouse, the island of Coronado always has something going on.

One of the best features to Coronado is the world famous Hotel Del Coronado. This Victorian style seaside hotel was established in 1888, and was easily one of the biggest and best hotels of that era. The hotel was hosted in the past by the infamous Marilyn Monroe and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

The Hotel Del Coronado has some of the best service in California, along with breathtaking views of the San Diego area. The restaurant here is one of the best around, and even if you aren’t staying here, you can enjoy a great meal. Each and every year, thousands of people visit Coronado just to stay at this world class hotel – yes, it’s that good.

The Ferry Landing is also a great addition to what Coronado Island has to offer. The Ferry Landing Marketplace offers you 30+ shops, restaurants, and art galleries. You can walk around and check out what the marketplace has to offer, or enjoy a visit to the Tidelands Park.

There are great places to walk and bicycle here, with awesome views of skyline San Diego. At sunset, this is one of the best places to be. On Tuesdays, you can find a farmers market here as well.

The Coronado Beach is located here as well, along the Travel Channel. North of the beach there’s the Best Weekend Getaway Beach. Even in the summer, the Coronado Beach isn’t crowded, giving your family plenty of room to enjoy the splendors of one of California’s best beaches.

From the Glorietta Bay Inn in Coronado, you can take a walking tour. Tours leave several times a week, showing you everything the area has to offer. This is a great way to learn more about the area. Or, if you like, you can let someone else do the driving and try a pedicab tour.

For the romantic, the Gondola Cruise helps to take the pressure out of life. A romantic spin through the canals of Coronado Cays can be quite the break from the ordinary.  

You can reach Coronado Island from San Diego by taking the Coronado Bay Bridge exit off I-5. By water from San Diego, you can take the Coronado Ferry that runs hourly from 9 AM – 10 PM. Walking from the Ferry Landing to Hotel Del Coronado is a little over a mile.
